Title: Easy to see why T.E. Lawrence loved this work.
Review: Lawrence Arabia is said to have read this book three times over the course of a few weeks, and he was the first to guess the identity of the then anonymous author.Manning's gift at describing both the crudities and subtleties of life in the ranks almost matches Lawrence's book on barracks life, "The Mint."I never cease to be amazed at the intellect of the British soldier/author of that era.You will most likely read this work in one sitting and then read it again and again for years to come, but the shock that comes from the ending is an unforgettable one-time experience.
