'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.
