Trumbo’s stark, profoundly troubling masterpiece about the horrors of World War I brilliantly crystallized the uncompromising brutality of war and became the most influential protest novel of the Vietnam era. With a compelling new foreword by fellow award-winning writer E. L. Doctorow, Johnny Got His Gun is an undisputed classic of antiwar literature that’s as timely as ever.“A terrifying book, of an extraordinary emotional intensity.”--The Washington Post"Powerful. . . an eye-opener." --Michael Moore"Mr. Trumbo sets this story down almost without pause or punctuation and with a fury amounting to eloquence."--The New York Times"A book that can never be forgotten by anyone who reads it."--Saturday Review
