"Calls to mind such early moderns as Hemingway and
Fitzgerald...Some of the most powerful antiwar literature in modern
English fiction."-The Boston Globe The first book of the
Regeneration Trilogy-a Booker Prize nominee and one of
Entertainment Weekly's 100 All-Time Greatest Novels. In 1917
Siegfried Sasson, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly
refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I.
His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially
classified "mentally unsound" and sent to Craiglockhart War
Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers, set
about restoring Sassoon's "sanity" and sending him back to the
trenches. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. It is
a war saga in which not a shot is fired. It is a story of a battle
for a man's mind in which only the reader can decide who is the
victor, who the vanquished, and who the victim. One of the most
amazing feats of fiction of our time, Regeneration has been hailed
by critics across the globe. More than one hundred years since
World War I, this book is as timely and relevant as ever.
