Items related to Middle Parts of Fortune
First published in 1929, it is now available as a brand new book. The story is an account of the lives of ordinary soldiers. The central character, Bourne is an enigmatic character and Manning tells his own wartime experiences through him. It is forcibly written, too forcibly for the sensibilities of the time, and a censored version was produced in 1930 under the title 'Her Privates We'.

Review:
Outstanding. Almost certainly the finest work of its kind to emerge from the war (Max Hastings Guardian)
I read it over once each year to remember how things really were (Ernest Hemingway)
The finest novel to come out of the First World War (William Boyd)
Book Description:
I read it over once each year to remember how things really were (Ernest Hemingway)
The finest novel to come out of the First World War (William Boyd)
Set in the mud and stench of the Somme this is a grim, sardonic tale of war that led William Boyd to say ‘this is the finest novel to come out of the First World War’
