Summary

New to Penguin Modern Classics with a new introduction by E. L. Doctorow on the seventieth anniversary of its first publication

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 bestseller upon its first publication…
