5.0 out of 5 stars Life in and out of the trenches. Jan 19 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
"Memoirs..." is the kind of work that appeals even to people who have no interest in war, the military, or nationalist issues. I sometimes think that this work was created exactly for those people. It shows, sometimes graphically, the humanity of the most extreme conflict of this dying century. It reminds all that soldiers, officers, friend and foe, are people who have looked into the abyss and found the will to survive. This book will move even the most jaded heart. The only true pacifists are those that die so we may live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Problably the greatest book ever written about WWI Dec 1 1998
By b.scheuer@wxs.nl
Format:Paperback
Sassoon did a great job writing this book, it shows the war in an other perspective than most books about WWI. I think he sees the social misunderstandings brought to the trenches and he does also see that some deeds are totally irrelevant to the duration of the war. Really good to read.-Thomas Scheuer

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book!! Sep 4 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This was an extraordinary book. Some of the descriptions of battle are unforgettable and have seared themselves forever in my memory. The author brilliantly paints mental pictures that leave you thinking about them for days. I was also struck how ahead of its time the book seemed. Though written prior to WWII, the disallusionment and hopelessness expressed by the protaganist as he is expossed to more and more action in the trenches read much like a Vietnam era work. Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a front line, junior officer's account of WWI and just plain good writing.
