Three Soldiers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162713861)

Three Soldiers is a novel by John Dos Passos, first published in 1921. Set during World War I, the book follows three American soldiers - John Andrews, Dan Fuselli, and Chrisfield - as they navigate the harsh realities of military life and the horrors of war. The novel is a critique of the American military and the society that supports it, and explores themes of disillusionment, alienation, and the dehumanizing effects of war. Through the experiences of the three soldiers, Dos Passos paints a vivid picture of the physical and emotional toll of combat, as well as the social and political forces that shape the lives of those who fight. The book is considered a classic of American literature and a landmark work of modernist fiction.""Anybody know where the electricity turns on?"" asked the sergeant in a good-humored voice. ""Here it is."" The light over the door of the barracks snapped on, revealing a rotund cheerful man with a little yellow mustache and an unlit cigarette dangling out of the corner of his mouth. Grouped about him, in overcoats and caps, the men of the company rested their packs against their knees.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
