?Mr. Trumbo sets this story down almost without pause or punctuation and with a fury accounting to eloquence.?-The New York TimesThis was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered-not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives. . . . This is no ordinary novel. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome . . . but so is war.Praise for Johnny Got His Gun?[It is] very hard to write aboutJohnny Got His Gun
