FIRST PRINTINGS OF ALL THREE VOLUMES OF ONE OF THE GREAT WORKS OF WORLD WAR ONE LITERATURE. The first volume is by Faber & Gwyer with the second two bearing the imprint of Faber and Faber after the firm name changed. All three volumes in fine condition with dustjackets in near fine condition. The jackets show traces of shelf wear and the spine of Infantry Officer is slightly rubbed; jackets otherwsie clean and intact with original prices. A much nicer set than normally found, particularly the scarce first volume. Sassoon's trilogy of autobiographical novels is not only a masterpiece of Great War Literature but also considered to be one of the finest works of 20th century English literature.
