From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Pat Barker (born May 8, 1943) is an English writer and historian. She published her first novel, Union Street, in the 1980s and has since won critical acclaim for her First World War series, the Regeneration trilogy, which documents the wartime experiences of the poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, the psychiatrist W.
