Annotation
Hemingway said he read Her Privates We, a book by Frederic Manning, every year, and he began his Men at War with the first chapter of Manning's book, an account of World War I service. Manning's book, which was published under two titles, In the Middle Parts of Fortune and Her Privates We-the first volume privately printed and unexpurgated, the second initially bowdlerized-features a protagonist named Bourne. Bourne shares several features with his namesake David in The Garden of Eden, which Hemingway begin shortly after the war and after publishing Men at War.
