      Part Two Of Two PartsBY THE GREEN OF SPRING is the third and final volume in John Masters' trilogy Loss of Eden.The trilogy, starting with NOW GOD BE THANKED, depicts the impact of WW I on British life. HEART OF WAR carries the saga into the conflict's desperate middle years. BY THE GREEN OF SPRING brings the war to its close and casts the survivors (half the war-time generation was killed) on the barren shores of peace."An impressive, large-scale work. Masters never shifts his focus from the human element...his storytelling gifts, convincing characterization and skilled organizaton have never been more tellingly displayed." (John Barkham Reviews)
