This article discusses the book "Five Men: A Poem," by Craddock Edmunds. Edmunds concern here is war, his purpose has been to objectify a universal folly in terms of individual conduct. The canvas is consequently a broad one and the colors dark almost without relief. Five men strategically combined to embody as many different ways of life, are carried in parallels through an incident in the Battle of Rheims, while on yet another level the facts of their behavior are projected toward a flied ethical concept.
