Memoirs of an Infantry Officer: A Classic War Memoir of the Western Front — Collector’s Edition with Preface & Character Guide Paperback – January 15, 2026

Memoirs of an Infantry Officer is Siegfried Sassoon’s unforgettable World War I classic—an unflinching, deeply human account of trench warfare told through the fictionalized voice of George Sherston.First published in 1930, this book moves beyond conventional battlefield narrative. With sharp observation, bitter irony, and moments of haunting lyricism, Sassoon exposes the emotional and moral cost of war: the absurdities of military bureaucracy, the fragile comforts of friendship, and the slow erosion of idealism under relentless pressure.This is not propaganda and not a heroic pose. It is a clear-eyed portrait of courage, trauma, and survival—written by a decorated officer who also became one of the war’s most courageous critics.This Paperback Collector’s Edition by BY2NEXT Publishing includes:The complete original 1930 textA curated preface to enrich the reading experienceA main characters guide for easy referenceAn author biographyClean, professional formatting designed for comfortable readingIdeal for readers of World War I history, classic war memoirs, and literary accounts of the Western Front.
