Based on the author's first-hand experience as an ambulance driver during World War I, this first novel is noteworthy for its vivid and colorful portrait of France at that time and for its passionate indictment of war. The author's disillusionment with war, for a time, turned him toward socialism and against capitalism. Finally, after being labeled pro-German and pacifist, Dos Passos concluded that the quasi-religion of Marxism was far more brutal than poor old Capitalism ever dreamed of. Reprinted from the unexpurgated original edition published by Cornell University Press in 1969.
