Description
- Places Manning in context alongside contemporary writers in the trenches
- Rare excerpts from his earlier works
- Highlights the role of Peter Pan
One of the classic novels to come out of Word War I. Manning was there at the Battle of the Somme and describes the battle from the viewpoint of the private soldier with such accuracy (and forthright language) that it initially appeared only as a limited private printing entitled The Middle Parts of Fortune by Private 19022. Later released to the public as Her Privates We (more Shakespeare quotes), but still with Manning's identity hidden. The book was widely admired by T S Eliot and T E Lawrence; Hemingway regarded it as the finest novel to come out of World War I.
