It was the war to end all wars, the global struggle that would finally make the world safe for democracy
- at any cost. But one American soldier has paid a price beyond measure. & within the disfigured flesh that was once a vision of youth lives a spirit that cannot accept what the world has become. An immediate bestseller upon its first publication in 1939, Trumbo`s stark, profoundly troubling masterpiece about the horrors of the First World War brilliantly crystallized the uncompromising brutality of war & became the most influential protest novel of the Vietnam era, as timely as ever.
