Published to great critical acclaim, this first volume covers Sassoon's life up until the end of the First World War. Wilson has unearthed many private and unpublished letters and papers, which have enabled her to embark on the journey towards self-knowledge that Sassoon himself felt that he could never take.

Her previous books include two other biographies of First World War poets; Charles Hamilton Sorley and Isaac Rosenberg: Poet and Painter, She is considered the foremost expert on Siegfried Sassoon.
