In Letters of Note: War, Shaun Usher brings together some of the most remarkable letters that encapsulate the human experience of war, from unimaginable feats of courage and compassion, to unthinkable episodes of violence and horror.
A star-studded cast of readers brings the letters to life, with contributions from Sanjeev Bhaskar, Louise Brealey, Simon Callow, Benedict Cumberbatch, Adrian Edmondson, Stephen Fry, Neil Gaiman, Danny Huston, Toby Jones, Ferdinand Kingsley, Jude Law, Natascha McElhone, Clarke Peters, Juliet Stevenson and Mark Strong.

The collection features letters by Mark Twain, June Wandrey, Evelyn Waugh, Lord Horatio Nelson, Alexander Hamilton, Luis Alvarez and many more.

Letters of Note: War also includes audio exclusive bonus content drawn from recordings made at performances of Letters Live, the live events series produced by Canongate in partnership with SunnyMarch and Shaun Usher. Listen to Ben Kingsley reading Mohandas Gandhi’s letter to Adolf Hitler and Colin Firth and Taron Egerton read letters exchanged between Rudyard Kipling and his son, John.

A donation will be made to The National Literacy Trust – one of the regular partner charities for Letters Live – for each audiobook sold.

Critic Reviews

"Praise for Letters of Note: The literary equivalent of a box of chocolates - bite-sized and pure addictive pleasure . . . The result is beautifully produced, with photographs and colour facsimiles of much of the correspondence. A gorgeous Christmas present"
"Addictive, like dipping into a bag of variously tempting assorted candies, knowing that the next one will always bring surprise and pleasure"
"A gloriously presented compilation"
"As a guide to letters that deserve a wider readership, Usher's compilation is hard to beat"
"Quite literally the most enjoyable volume it is possible to imagine. Every page is a marvel"
"It is hard to see how Letters Of Note could ever be surpassed"
"Funny, tragic, brilliantly incisive, historic, lyrical, romantic and studiedly offensive, this stupendous compendium of letters ancient and modern is my book of the year. You will never tire of it" (Stephen Fry)
"It is inspiring, and often sad, funny, and occasionally quite surreal"
"A wonderful collection of magical missives . . . It'll have you reaching for pen and paper"
"A truly extraordinary reading experience"
