Johnny Got His Gun. Dalton Trumbo's thought-provoking book "Johnny Got His Gun" is the best novel written about war, bar none. The war was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. If democracy was safe, nothing else matter-not the dead, not the ruined lives. This is the story of one of those ruined lives. It is graphic, distrurbing, horrible, gruesome, and brutal, much like the war. Dalton Trumbo is one of the most important but least known literary figure of recent times. He wrote more than 60 screenplays including "Exodus," "Papillon," and "Spartacus."
"Johnny Got His Gun," a National Book Award Winner, is a
masterpiece. It will change the way you view the world.
