( )This was an enjoyable read, and it made me think about soem aspects of the war, like when killing is ever right. However, it did not have the same emotional impact that others such as regeneration,etc had. A more serious book from Ben Elton, it portrays the everyday lives of two soldiers on opposite sides during the first world war.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0552771309, Paperback)In Flanders in June 1917, a British officer and celebrated poet is shot dead, killed not by German fire, but while recuperating from shell shock well behind the lines. A young English soldier is arrested and, although he protests his innocence, charged with his murder. Douglas Konig, formerly a detective with the London police, soon discovers that both the evidence and the witnesses he needs are quite literally disappearing into the mud that surrounds him.
