{"product_id":"one-mans-initiation-john-dos-passos-9780819153609","title":"One Man's Initiation: 1917","description":"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.\" \u003cb\u003eReprinted from the unexpurgated original edition published by Cornell University Press in 1969.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dos Passos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819153605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819153609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d","brand":"John Dos Passos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059862827263,"sku":"9780819153609","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b03fbc0c-6949-4041-af37-38e9b2e6c5c1.jpg?v=1685060757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-mans-initiation-john-dos-passos-9780819153609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
