The Regeneration Trilogy

Pat Barker's award-winning Regeneration Trilogy - comprising Regeneration , The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road - is the heart-rending story of the last two years of the First World War seen through the eyes of army psychologist William Rivers and damaged soldier Billy Prior. As Rivers struggles with the responsibility of helping the men in his charge - including the traumatized poet Siegfried Sassoon - only to see them returned to the front, we see how an entire generation of young men was brutalized by the horrors of the trenches.
