Description: JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN is a novel of heroism, courage and adventure unlike any other ever written.

Johnny proved his heroism on the battlefield in a manner far and away above the call of any soldier's duty.

Johnny proved his courage when, at the end of the war, he returned to live out the rest of his days in a veteran's hospital, fighting handicaps more severe than any soldier ever had to endure.

It was in this veteran's hospital that Johnny embarked on the greatest adventure he had ever known - finding a will to live, a meaning for his endless days and nights, a way by which he could reach out again to the world around him - all in the face of unspeakable agonies and frustrations.

His own private war on that hospital bed makes JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN one of our time's most moving, most dramatic, most compassionate novels. It is a reading adventure so indelibly real that you will remember it through all the years of your life!
