With an Introduction by Niall Ferguson
'Kill the buggers! Kill the bloody fucking swine! Kill them!'
Bourne is a private fighting on the front. He is under pressure to accept a
commission and become an officer, but he prefers to be among the ranks, drawn
into the universal struggle for survival in a world gone mad.
Manning's startling work is unlike any other First World War novel in its
portrayal of the lives of ordinary British soldiers: the trauma of the Somme;
the moments of bloodlust; the camaraderie, rivalry, alcohol and boredom.
Considered obscene for its language and previously published in censored form as
Her Privates We, The Middle Parts of Fortune appears here in its raw,
unexpurgated version.
