The book is essentially concerned with the adversities of ordinary soldiers what was expected of them, what they endured and what happened to them after they had reached the limits of their fortitude. The author has produced a fascinating, if sometimes harrowing study of the effects of war upon the fighting soldier of the gradual understanding of the problem of battle fatigue and of the more merciful and sympathetic approach to its treatment.
