Summary

In this soldier's story, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the monumental loss of innocence that occurred as a result of World War I. Written after the war and as a farewell bid to England and a way of life that had ended, this book traces Graves upbringing through his entry into the war at age twenty-one as a patriotic captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers. This dramatic, poignant, and often wry memoir depicts all the horrors and disillusionment of the Great Wat, from life in the trenches and the loss of dear friends to the absurdity of governmental bureaucracy. From the time that it was first published, this book continues to earn its designation as a truly timeless classic. -- Publishers description.
