Description
Her Privates We is a raw and unflinching portrayal of war from the perspective of an ordinary soldier. Published in 2013, this novel tells the story of the Battle of the Somme through the eyes of its protagonist, Bourne.
The book was originally published privately in 1929 as The Middle Parts of Fortune, but due to its frank and unvarnished language, it was subject to censorship. This edition restores the original text, providing a unique and honest account of life on the front lines during World War I.
Written by Frederic Manning, who drew from his own experiences as a soldier in the Shropshire Light Infantry, Her Privates We is a powerful tribute to those who served in the war. Its depiction of the horror, ordinariness, and humanity of conflict continues to resonate with readers today.
