The signed limited edition of Fox-Hunting Man, issued one month after the trade edition, "was an afterthought, made when the success of the ordinary edition was assured and the identity of the author known" (Keynes). The remaining titles were issued in both formats simultaneously. The Sherston trilogy is Sassoon's lightly fictionalized autobiography, detailing his lonely youth, his idle years as a country gentleman, and his military service on the Western Front. Immediately successful, the work "was awarded the Hawthornden and James Tait Black memorial prizes, and was quickly accepted as a classic of its kind - an elegy for a way of life which had gone forever" (ODNB). "Like Tolstoy's War and Peace, which he was also reading while he wrote his own book, it is the combination of factual detail and direct personal experience vividly rendered that makes Infantry Officer a convincing and compelling picture of war. As he told Ottoline [Morrell], he wanted to give 'a really truthful inner-narrative'. He believed that this had not yet been achieved by an English writer, apart from Blunden" (Wilson, p. 238). Sassoon considered the final instalment, Sherston's Progress, his best. It describes his recovery and return to the war after being treated by Dr W. H. R. Rivers at Craiglockhart War Hospital.
