Description

In this autobiography, first published in 1929, poet Robert Graves traces the common and amazing lack of purity that happened consequently of the First World-War. Created following the war and as he was making his homeland, he believed, permanently, good bye to Any Or All That bids goodbye not just to England and his British family and friends, but additionally to a means of living. Searching his upbringing from his well middle-class Victorian youth through his entry in to the war at age twenty-one being a loyal chief in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, this remarkable, touching, often wry autobiography continues to illustrate the horrors and disillusionment of the Truly Amazing War, from living in the ditches and the increasing loss of beloved friends, for the ignorance of government paperwork and the absurdity of British class stratification. John Fussell has praised it as ""the very best memoir of the Very First World War"" and has written the introduction for this new version that marks the eightieth anniversary of the finish of the war.
