LTF Stock #: 000822
Gravely wounded in World War I, a young soldier awakens to discover he has lost his limbs, face, and senses, leaving him trapped within his own consciousness. Through fragmented memories and inner monologue, the novel delivers a powerful indictment of war, nationalism, and institutional cruelty. Trumbo’s work is stark, philosophical, and emotionally devastating, prioritizing moral argument and human suffering over narrative conventionality. (J.B. Lippincott, 1939; 352 pp)
