It`s the first world war and a soldier wakes up in a hospital room after being blasted by an artillery gun.............. arms, legs, and face are gone. he is trapped in his body. tries to smother himself with his pillow but they have a trach job on him. he drifts between reality and fantasy and finds a way to comunicate and wants to go around in a glass case so people can really see the reality of war without all the heroic glamour. the officials say no.................. i`m sure most of you have read this book but it still has got to go on my list of books that i keep adding to this mess of an ego trip. read and provoke thought and dialogue.......................or not.

I read this as a kid; it freaked me out. Realities of war.
