Regeneration (Regeneration Trilogy)

<b>“Calls to mind such early moderns as Hemingway and Fitzgerald...Some of the most powerful antiwar literature in modern English fiction.”—</b><i><b>The Boston Globe</b><br></i><br><b>The first book of the Regeneration Trilogy—a Booker Prize nominee and one of <i>Entertainment Weekly</i>’s 100 All-Time Greatest Novels.</b><br> <br>In 1917 Siegfried Sasson, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I. His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially classified "mentally unsound" and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers, set about restoring Sassoon’s “sanity” and sending him back to the trenches. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired. It is a story of a battle for a man's mind in which only the reader can decide who is the victor, who the vanquished, and who the victim.<br> <br>One of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time, <i>Regneration </i>has been hailed by critics across the globe.  More than one hundred years since World War I, this book is as timely and relevant as ever.
