The Patriot's Progress : Being the Vicissitudes of Pte John Bullock - Softcover
A starkly powerful novel of one man's experiences in the First World War, The Patriot's Progress captures the grim experiences of an ordinary man caught up in a conflict over which he has no control.
John Bullock is a common soldier, fighting out of blind patriotism for a cause he does not understand, living through the bewilderment of his brutal initiation into army life, and finally facing the terrors of trench warfare on the battlefields of France.
Illustrated with the original lino-cuts of William Kermode, this book draws upon Henry Williamson's own war experiences. The combination of the text and illustrations creates a vivid and unforgettable portrayal of the war machine.
