Set in the mud and stench of the Somme this is a grim, sardonic
tale of war that let William Boyd to say 'this is the finest novel
to come out of the First World War'.
They can say what they bloody well like, but we're a fuckin' fine
mob.'
Deep in the mud, stench of the Somme, Bourne is trying his best to
stay alive. There he finds the intense fraternity of war and fear
unlike anything he has ever known.
Frederic Manning's novel was first published anonymously in 1929.
The honesty with which he wrote about the horror, the boredom, and
the futility of war inspired Ernest Hemingway to read the novel
every year, 'to remember how things really were so that I will
never lie to myself nor to anyone else about them'.
