  “The second of sassoon's trilogy, and by all accounts the best, is a dip into the world of carnage, slaughter and political misgivings. Semi-autobiographical one has to raise their hat to Sassaoon who restricts his prose by concentrating on the essence revealed in his main character and the discordance of a terrible war. Similar in feel and scope to Graves' tome as to be almost a replica, but this is not so surprising when one considers what was being smashed to pieces was more than just human bodies, but an entire way of life - them shell bursts remove the final cobwebs of Victorian endeavour and fortitude if not the insane madness of the upper classes and their pretentions to rule.
