Review:

The third and final book in the trilogy, and what an outstanding volume. From his protest to his time at the shell-shock hospital, to his return to the front, to his return to England, an absolutely fascinating look into the Great War mindset by someone that experienced it and lived (barely) to tell about it.

The descriptions of the countryside were poetic, but never forced. Just a remarkable way of seeing the bloom on the primrose when the guns were blasting away a mile or two down the road.
