His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially classified \"mentally unsound\" and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers, set about restoring Sassoon's \"sanity\" and sending him back to the trenches. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired. It is a story of a battle for a man's mind in which only the reader can decide who is the victor, who the vanquished, and who the victim. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time, \u003ci\u003eRegeneration \u003c\/i\u003ehas been hailed by critics across the globe.
