That he is but one insignificant person caught up in events beyond anyone's comprehension'. Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), one of the major First World-War poets, was exceptionally courageous on several occasions and in consequence was decorated for his bravery. This novel is a fictionalised account of Sassoon's experiences during and immediately following the First World War; it was an instant success, eclipsing his earlier work, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, and remains a literary classic of the period.

Limited edition, number 48 out of 320 copies signed by the Author and the Illustrator; 8vo; 15 colour plates by Barnett Freedman, fore-edges to four leaves crudely cut but not affecting text, otherwise fine; publisher's pictorial vellum, top edge gilt others untrimmed, pictorial dust-jacket, mild fading to spine and head slightly bumped, original slip-case, edges rubbed, especially on corners, otherwise an exceptionally good and clean copy.
