<DIV><b>The second installment in the Regeneration Trilogy</b><br> <br> It is the spring of 1918, and Britain is faced with the possibility of defeat by Germany. A beleaguered government and a vengeful public target two groups as scapegoats: pacifists and homosexuals. Many are jailed, others lead dangerous double lives, the "the eye in the door" becomes a symbol of the paranoia that threatens to destroy the very fabric of British society.<br><br> Central to this novel are such compelling, richly imagined characters as the brilliant and compassionate Dr. William Rivers; his most famous patient, the poet Siegfried Sassoon; and Lieutenant Billy Prior, who plays a central role as a domestic intelligence agent. With compelling, realistic dialogue and a keen eye for the social issues that have gone overlooked in mainstream media, <b>The Eye in the Door</b> is a triumph that equals<i>Regeneration</i> and the third novel in the trilogy, the 1995 Booker Prize-winning <i>The Ghost Road</i>, establishing Pat Barker's place in the very forefront of contemporary novelists.</div>
