A thoroughly moving book Joe Copping Having just finished reading "Birdsong" I felt compelled to read more about a period of time that is moving out of living memory. I think "Regeneration" is a superb book that is well written, well researched and moving. I think books like this are so important because we should not be allowed to forget what the people of that time went through and we should not be allowed to trivialise what the First World War did to human beings and how it broke the seemingly Golden Age that had developed throughout Victorian and Edwardian England. I think the novel helps to honour the memory of the people who gave their lives in the war over so. "The callous complacence" according to Linda Bulger. Regeneration is the first novel of a trilogy bearing the same name. In this book novelist Pat Barker tells the story of shell-shocked British officers receiving treatment in Edinburgh's Craiglockhart War Hospital under the care of Dr. W.H.R. Rivers. Barker chose to build the novel around real events and real characters: Dr. Rivers was a neurologist and anthropologist, and two of the principal characters are poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.Sassoon, a successful and decorated commissioned officer, became disillusioned with the inhumanity of the war and what he called its deliberate prolongation. Though not a pacifist himse. Faye Girsh said Much to be learned from story about WWI. Well-written, part of a trilogy, by female author Pat Barker who, remarkably writes details about WWI and what happens to a soldier whorefuses to fight any longer. She describes the horrors of war and how it affects other veterans who wind up in the psychiatric hospital where the story occurs. Differences in attitudes of psychiatrists who treat these men are also part of the scene.

One of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time, Regneration has been hailed by critics across the globe. As August 2014 marks the 100-year anniversary of World War I, this book is as timely and relevant as ever.. It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired. "The trilogy is trying to tell something about the parts of war that don't get into the official accounts" –Pat BarkerThe first book of the Regeneration Trilogy and a Booker Prize nominee In 1917 Siegfried Sasson, noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. William Rivers, set about restoring Sassoon's "sanity" and sending him back to the trenches
Yet the novel is much more. . Written in sparse prose that is shockingly clear -- the descriptions of electronic treatments are particularly harrowing -- it combines real-life characters and events with fictional ones in a work that examines the insanity of war like no other. Regeneration, one in Pat Barker's series of novels confronting the psychological effects of World War I, focuses on treatment methods during the war and the story of a decorated English officer sent to a military hospital after publicly declaring he will no longer fight. Other books in the series include The Eye in the Door and the Booker Award winner The Ghost Road. Barker also weaves in issues of class and politics in this compactly powerful book
