Barker offers realistic detail of many horrible war scenes, dwelling upon the destruction that war wreaks upon men's minds. These details comprise a large portion of the novel. Furthermore, Sassoon, the novel's hero, rejects all justification for such a high amount of human suffering. Barker presents Sassoon as a likable, sympathetic character who is perfectly clear and reasonable; it seems natural for us to accept his judgments as sound. Perhaps most important, the protagonist of the novel, Rivers

(Owen, "Apologia Pro" 35-36) relatives of the soldiers fail to acknowledge the hell in which "we fight" (Sassoon 7) and the horrid places "we're killed" (8) by euphemistically referring to death in action as "retir[ing]" (9).
