Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Good. Edges rubbed, crease along spine, corners lightly creased. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1930 Mass Market Paperback. v, 255 pp. One of the classic novels to come out of Word War I. Manning was there at the Battle of the Somme and describes the battle from the viewpoint of the private soldier with such accuracy (and forthright language) that it initially appeared only as a limited private printing entitled The Middle Parts of Fortune by Private 19022. Later released to the public as Her Privates We (more Shakespeare quotes), but still with Manning's identity hidden. The book was widely admired by T S Eliot and T E Lawrence; Hemingway regarded it as the finest novel to come out of World War I.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. First Edition. Her Privates We is Frederic Manning's stark, psychologically intimate World War I novel, drawn directly from his service as "Private 19022" in the Shropshire Light Infantry. This 1930 trade edition titled Her Privates We is the first public edition (the true first edition is the privately printed 1929 two‑volume set titled The Middle Parts of Fortune, issued anonymously).The narrative follows Bourne, an ordinary enlisted man, through the trenches of the Somme, capturing the banality, terror, camaraderie, and moral disorientation of front‑line life. Rather than focusing on strategy or heroics, the novel immerses the reader in the daily emotional and physical grind of trench warfare, emphasizing the soldiers' internal conflicts, their attempts to preserve humanity, and the surreal mixture of routine and horror that defined the Western Front. The book is widely praised for its unvarnished realism, expressive prose, and refusal to romanticize war. Ernest Hemingway and T.E. Lawrence both championed it as one of the finest depictions of men in war. Hard cover edition without dustjacket. 453 pages. Dimensions: 5.25" by 7.5".
