It is a terrifying book, of an extraordinary emotional intensity.” - Washington Post “ very hard to write about Johnny Got His Gun without being guilty of understatement or hysterics. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome.
And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered-not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives.
Trumbo sets this story down almost without pause or punctuation and with a fury accounting to eloquence.”- The New York Times
