In this powerful new book, Michèle Barrett uncovers the lives of five ordinary soldiers who endured the “war to end all wars,” and how they dealt with its horrors, both at the front and after the war’s end. Through their stories, Barrett sheds new light on the nature of the psychological damage of war, which for the first time became both widely acknowledged and profoundly controversial through the term “shell shock.” Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material, \u003ci\u003eCasualty Figures\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving and original account of the psychological havoc caused by war.”\u003cb\u003eMichèle Barrett\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Modern Literary and Cultural Theory in the School of English and Drama, Queen Mary, University of London.
