| Summary |
"Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland, 1917, where army psychiatrist William Rivers is treating shell-shocked soldiers. Under his care are the poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, as well as mute Billy Prior, who is only able to communicate by means of pencil and paper. Rivers's job is to make the men in charge healthy enough to fight. Yet the closer he goes to mending his patients' minds, the harder becomes every decision to send them back to the horrors of the front ... Regeneration is the classic exploration of how the traumas of war brutalized a generation of young men."--Cover |
