Death of a Hero Aldington Richard
One of the great World War I antiwar novels--honest, chilling, and brilliantly satiricalBased on the author's experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington's first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France.
Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward its astounding finish.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in Aldington's writing about Britain's ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published.
