"The story of a young boy and his tragic fate in World War I makes a statement on the horrors of war and a plea for peace."
"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."
"Publishers Weekly: This audio edition of Trumbo's classic 1939 novel of war's insanity begins as a bit of a slog because of the lengthy padding at its start. With two introductions, from Cindy Sheehan and Ron Kovic, that attempt to place the novel in the context of more recent armed conflicts in both Iraq and Vietnam, it is the better part of a disc before the book properly begins. Once it does, though, the slog ceases. Trumbo's novel is spine-tingling in its immediacy and horror, and William Dufris (while occasionally fumbling around in his bag of voices) mostly gives the words room to breathe. For this book, little more is necessary."
"When a World War I soldier loses his legs, eyes, ears, mouth, nose and arms, he desperately begs his doctors to let him die."@en
""Johnny Got His Gun" holds a place as one of the classic antiwar novels. First published in 1939, Dalton Trumbo's story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I-- he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with mind intact-- was an immediate bestseller. This fiercely moving novel was a rallying point for many Americans who came of age during World War II, and it became perhaps the most popular novel of protest during the Vietnam era. Citadel Underground's edition of "Johnny Got His Gun" features a powerful new introduction by Ron Kovic, author of "Born on the Fourth of July", and also includes an introduction by Dalton Trumbo. ""Johnny Got His Gun" still remains the most powerful piece of writing to influence me after Vietnam. Upon my return from the war, and after all these twenty-two years spent in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the mid-chest down, I've read many writers that have influenced my life profoundly-- Hemingway, Conrad, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King-- but there has been nothing out of that body of great literature to compare to this book ... "Johnny Got His Gun" remains the most revolutionary, searing document against was and injustice ever written.""@en
"A World War I soldier begs his doctors to let him die after he is critically injured."@en
"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."@en

"This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing mattered, not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives... This is no ordinary novel. this is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome... but so is war."
"A young man who was severely wounded in World War I thinks about his life and about the horror and futility of war."@en

"Verhaal over een soldaat, die in de Eerste Wereldoorlog gruwelijk verminkt wordt, en van wie alleen de hersenen nog normaal kunnen functioneren."
"Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale un régiment écossais est tué dès sa première intervention... Ce roman antimilitariste écrit en 1938 dénonce les horreurs de la guerre ; il fut porté à l'écran par son auteur."
"A young man who was severely wounded in World War One thinks about his life and about the horror and futility of war and its toll on him."@en
