Barker, Pat, — Regeneration.

Plume, (1993). 1st Plume ptg. VG PB. Make the madness of war more than a metaphor. In 1917 Siegfried Sassoon, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly. refused to continue serving as a British officer in WWI. His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially classified "mentally unsound" and sent to Craiglochart War Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers,set about restoring Sassoon's sanity and sending him bakc to the trenches. A man's battle for his own mind. Some tanning along page edges, owner's jotting back inner cover.
