A moving, raw and powerful novel about fighting on the front - 'The
finest and noblest book of men in war that I have ever read'
(Ernest Hemingway) Bourne is a private fighting on the front. He is
under pressure to accept a commission and become an officer, but he
prefers to be among the ranks, drawn into the universal struggle
for survival in a world gone mad. Manning's startling work is
unlike any other First World War novel in its portrayal of the
lives of ordinary British soldiers: the trauma of the Somme; the
moments of bloodlust; the camaraderie, rivalry, alcohol and
boredom. Considered obscene for its language and previously
published in censored form as Her Privates We, The Middle Parts of
Fortune appears here in its raw, unexpurgated version.
