Falklands
Conflict' recedes from the front pages into the history books, the reader is now being inundated with accounts of that war from the many who were there, and more who were not.
There is also a spate of books describing other, less recent, wars even future ones. But can any of them hope to tell the truth' about war, whether seen from the ground, or from a general's-eye-view above a plan of battle?
Richard Lindley talks to three writers about three wars:
Leslie Thomas , author of The
Virgin Soldiers whose new novel
The Magic Army has just appeared in paperback; Max Hastings , currently working on his first-hand account of the Falklands Cam-
Si General Sir John Hackett whose new 'untold story of The
Third World War, appeared this year.

The departmental meeting. A setting of legendary divisiveness for the fruition of Howard's master plan. But with Prof Marvin a reluctant combatant and Howards extra-mural activities under novel surveillance, the inevitability of the plot is no longer totally in the author's hands.

Poetry as Magic
Theatre director Patrick Garland talks to a variety of poets about their work.
What were the chief considerations which led Seamus Heaney to select poems for a vast new anthology, The Rattle Bag, which he has compiled with Ted Hughes ? What interested him most in poetry when he was young? Does poetry seem to him to be threatened as an art form by the conditions of modern life?
Brian Patten and Roger McGough first achieved fame in the Beatles' heyday of the 1960s. How has their poetry developed since then? Sue Lenier's first collection of poems, Swansongs, was published when she was 23. Teachers and reviewers have testified to her extraordinarily fertile imagination and mastery of poetic techniques. How did she achieve this mastery?
