"A William Abrahams book."

In the closing months of World War I, psychologist William Rivers treats the mental casualties of the war, making them whole enough to return to battle. As Dr. Rivers treats his patients, he begins to see parallels between the culture of death in the tribes os the South Seas, where he served as a young missionary doctor, and in Europe in the grips of World War I. At the same time, Billy Prior, one of Dr. River's patients, returns to Farnce, qhere millions of men engaged in brutal trench warfare are all "ghost in the making", to fight a war he no longer believes in.
