Contains a concise biography of Robert Graves
Good-bye to All That is one of the most powerful and unforgettable war memoirs ever written—a raw, honest, and deeply human account of life before, during, and after the First World War.
Written with sharp intelligence and understated emotion, Robert Graves traces his journey from the strict traditions of English public-school life to the brutal reality of the trenches. Stripped of glory and false heroism, the war emerges as a world of chaos, fear, loyalty, and loss, where survival itself feels miraculous. Graves’s voice—ironic, candid, and unflinchingly truthful—cuts through patriotic myth to reveal the personal cost of conflict.
But this book is more than a war story. It is a farewell to an entire way of life: to inherited values, rigid social systems, and the illusions that shaped a generation and led it into catastrophe. With moments of dark humor, quiet reflection, and haunting clarity, Graves captures the emotional dislocation of returning from war to a society that can never fully understand what was endured.
This beautifully prepared illustrated edition brings the memoir to life for modern readers. The carefully selected illustrations enhance the atmosphere of the era, while the included summary, character list, and author biography provide valuable context and deeper insight into both the book and its creator.
A timeless classic of world literature, Good-bye to All That remains as relevant today as when it was first published—an essential read for lovers of history, memoir, and profoundly honest storytelling.
