Good-Bye to All That

An Autobiography

Robert Graves

This memoir is one of the harshest autobiographies ever written about the generation of Englishmen who suffered in WWI. Robert Graves's stripped-to-the-bone prose seethes with contempt for his class, his country, his military superiors & the civilians who mindlessly cheered the carnage from the safety of home, with a bone-chilling litany of meaningless death, horrific encounters with gruesomely decaying corpses & even more appalling confrontations with the callousness & arrogance of the military command. Yet, this enthralling book is consistently captivating. His pared-back, lucid prose burns all bridges in a rush of words, conveying a feeling of exhilaration that's impossible not to get caught up in.
