"Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland, 1917. Poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon has been institutionalised in an attempt to undermine his public disapproval of the war. His army psychiatrist, Dr William Rivers, has been tasked with returning shell-shocked officers to the trenches, yet under Sassoon's influence, he has become tormented by the morality of what is being done in the name of healing. Reminding us that some of the most intimate friendships are born from the most brutal conflicts, Regeneration is a compelling and compassionate look at the nihilism of war and the devastating effect the First World War had on a generation of young men."--Page [4] of cover.
