Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; 10.0 X 7.1 X 0.7 inches; 180 pages; "A fictionalized account of Sassoon's own early life and wartime experience, the books constituting this trilogy - Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, and Sherston's Progress - form a gripping coming-of-age chronicle. 'The story he tells,' Fussell writes in his introduction, 'is that of a shy, awkward, extremely limited young country gentleman acquainted only with hunting and cricket and golf who learns about the greater adult world the hardest way - perceiving and absorbing the details of its most shocking war. The irony is that Sherston is removed from the aimlessness of his rural life not by, say, a career in the City, which before the war might have been thought the appropriate antidote to idleness; he's removed from it by an alternative quite needlessly excessive, the hell of the trenches.' This is the first version of the Memoirs to be illustrated with photographs, works of art, and documents from its own period. ".
