Synopsis:

One of the most famous antiwar novels ever written was first published in 1939, only two days after World War II began. It depicts the interior monologue of Joe Bonham, a World War I infantryman, as he lies helpless in a hospital after his arms and legs have been amputated and with injuries to his face that leave him unable to communicate. He recalls his earlier life and attempts to overcome the tremendous obstacles that now stand between him and the rest of humanity.
