John Dos Passos an American Writer whose book Three soldiers remains a classic in the WWI realist war genre. This novel is the authors first artistic landmark. In this anti-war novel Dos Passos introduces his signature satirical voice as he documents the de humanizing effects of militarization. The three soldiers in the novel endure long waits in the trenches followed by heart stopping firefights filled with poison gas.The merger of the most ancient form of warfare, the frontal assault merged with the modern technology of war, machine guns airplane's, grenades and Mustard Gas, assures mutual destruction. Each soldier protagonist hails from a different geographic section and social region of America and Dos Passos is careful to get the dialects correct. F Scott Fitzgerald calls the novel " the first war book by an American author worth taking notice of". Book is very good, solid, square and unmarked except for the former owners signature on the First Free end paper dated 1922. This is a wonderful collectible and a great addition to any serious library. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall 2nd Printing. Codice articolo 001504
