Dalton Trumbo
1939 - J. B. Lippincott Company, New York Philadelphia Toronto - First Edition
A fine copy in near fine, and thus exceptionally scarce dust jacket.
‘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. And within the disfigured flesh that was once a vision of youth lives a spirit that cannot accept what the world has become.
An immediate best-seller upon its first publication in 1939, Trumbo's stark, profoundly troubling masterpiece about the horrors of the First World War brilliantly crystallised the uncompromising brutality of war and became the most influential protest novel of the Vietnam era.’ [PC]
‘A terrifying book, of an extraordinary emotional intensity.’ – The Washington Post.
‘A terrible story, remorseless, uncompromising... this book was a shocking and violent experience.’ – Herald Tribune.
