Johnny Got His Gunby Dalton Trumbo
Awards1940 Winner of the National Book Award
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Johnny Got His Gun holds a place as one of the classic antiwar novels. First published in 1939, Dalton Trumbo's story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I — he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with mind intact — was an immediate bestseller. This fiercely moving novel was a rallying point for many Americans who came of age during World War II, and it became perhaps the most popular novel of protest during the Vietnam era. Citadel Underground's edition of Johnny Got His Gun features a powerful new introduction by Ron Kovic, author of Born on the Fourth of July, and also includes an introduction by Dalton Trumbo. Review:"[This] is a terrifying book, of an extraordinary emotional intensity." The Washington Post Review:"Johnny Got His Gun is not merely a powerful antiwar document; it is also a powerful and brilliant work of the imagination....Mr. Trumbo has written a book that can never be forgotten by anyone who reads it." Saturday Review Review:"A terrible story, remorseless, uncompromising...this book was a shocking and violent experience." Herald Tribune Review:"There can be no question of the effectiveness of this book." The New York Times What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
