This famous book follows the classic Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man in Sassoon’s trilogy of fictionalized autobiography, which he completed with Sherston’s Progress.‘Those who in future really want to understand the atmosphere of the years of 1916 and 1917, and the conditions of life, will turn back to this book … It is by the complete candour of its self-analysis, its dispassionate portrayal of mixed thoughts and instincts, that it stands out.’ B. H. Liddell Hart, Daily Telegraph.
