Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (Faber Classics) Siegfried Sassoon

George Sherston - Sassoon's alter ego - fights in the battles of Somme and Arras. He is awarded the Military Cross. Almost all his friends and companions are killed. And yet, despite all the odds, he survives. Sassoon tells his story simply and with a bleak humour, but the power of his experience - of conditions in the trenches, of incompetent 'staff', of civilian incomprehension - is inescapable.

Über Siegfried Sassoon

Siegfried Sassoon was born in 1886 and educated at Clare College, Cambridge. He served in the trenches during the First World War, where he began to write the poems for which he is remembered. Dispatched as 'shell-shocked' to hospital, he organised public protest against the war. His poetry initially met with little response, but his reputation grew steadily in the following decades. Apart from the War Poems of 1919, he published eight volumes of verse during his lifetime. But it as a novelist and autobiographer that he is perhaps better-known. Sassoon's semi-autobiographical trilogy - Memoirs of a Fox-hunting Man (1928), Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930) and Sherston's Progress (1936) - was outstandingly successful. He published several more volumes of autobiography, including Siegfried's Journey (1945), before his death in 1967.
