George Sherston develops from a shy and awkward child, through
shiftless adolescence, to an officer just beginning to understand
the horrors of trench warfare. The world he grows up in, of village
cricket and loyal grooms, had vanished forever by the time Sassoon
wrote this book, but he captures it with a lyricism and gentleness
that defy nostalgia.
A bestseller on publication in 1928, this superb evocation of the
Edwardian age has remained in print ever since. It was the first
volume of a classic trilogy, completed by Memoirs of an Infantry
Officer and Sherston's Progress, that charted both the destruction
of the world for which Sassoon fought, and his own emergence as one
of Britain's finest war poets.
