Soldiers Don't Go Mad: A Story of Brotherhood, Poetry, and Mental Illness During the First World War
A brilliant and poignant history of the friendship between two great war poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, alongside a narrative investigation of the origins of PTSD and the literary response to World War IFrom the moment war broke out across Europe in 1914, the world entered a new, unparalleled era of modern warfare. Within the first four months of the war, the British Army recorded the nervous collapse of ten percent of its officers; the loss of such manpower to mental illness - not to mention death and physical wounds - left the army unable to fill its ranks. Soldiers faced relentless machine gun shelling, incredible artillery power, flame throwers, and gas attacks.
