JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN
Book ID/图书代码: 14780090B00324
English Summary/英文概要: The story of a young soldier flashing back between his current situation of life in a hospital bed with extensive war injuries and his past in small town America.
This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else 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.

About the Author/作者介绍: Dalton Trumbo知名的編劇和作家,奧黛莉赫本主演的《羅馬假期》就是他在監獄完成的作品,但當時50年代他被列入好萊塢共產黨黑名單,因此無法於影片裡掛名,直到40年後重新以數位修復影帶,才被正式於片頭掛名。
《JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN》是作者於1938年完成的反戰小說,1971年Dalton Trumbo自己把這部小說改拍成電影,而該片也獲得1971年坎城影展評審團特別獎和國際影評人聯盟獎。
