It's a Battlefield
''It's a Battlefield'' is an early novel by Graham Greene, first published in the year 1934. Graham Greene later described it as his "first overtly political novel". Its theme, said Greene, is "the injustice of man's justice." Later in life, Greene classified his major books as "novels" and his lighter works as "entertainments"; he ranked ''It's a Battlefield'' as a novel and not a mere entertainment.〔(Diemert, ''Pursuit of Justice'', p. 1 )〕
==Title==
The title ''It's a Battlefield'' is explained by the epigraph, which Greene took from the account of the battle of Inkerman in Alexander Kinglake's ''The Invasion of the Crimea''. The amount of fog during the battle led to many of the troops on both sides being cut off in terrain reduced to "small numberless circlets commensurate with such ranges of vision as the mist might allow at each spot.... In such conditions, each separate gathering of English soldiery went on fighting its own little battle in happy and advantageous ignorance of the general state of the action; nay, even very often in ignorance of the fact that any great conflict was raging."〔''(Hoskins, "Graham Greene: An Approach to the Novels, p. 46" )''. Google Books. Retrieved 13 April 2014〕
