A searing farewell to innocence, Goodbye to All That is Robert Graves's unflinching war memoir of youth, disillusionment, and survival, tracing his journey from an idyllic childhood in Victorian England to the brutal trenches of the Western Front, where he served as a young British officer during the First World War.
With biting wit and remarkable honesty, Graves exposes the absurdities of military life, the horrors of trench warfare, and the cultural collapse that followed in WWI's wake. More than a battlefield memoir of combat, it is a powerful firsthand account of a generation's reckoning—a portrait of a world coming apart and a man walking away from it. Graves reflects on his friendships, including fellow poet and decorated soldier Siegfried Sassoon, his shattered ideals, and the profound personal cost of the Great War.
Perfect for readers of military history and autobiographical nonfiction, as well as fans of Erich Maria Remarque, Vera Brittain, Siegfried Sassoon, and Ernest Hemingway.
