Johnny got his gun (eAudiobook) ... Author: Trumbo, Dalton. Contributors: Dufris, William. Published: Old Saybrook : Tantor Audio, 2008. ... Edition: Unabridged.
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. Johnny Got His Gun holds a place as one of the classic antiwar novels. First published in 1939, Dalton Trumbo's story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I-he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with his mind intact-was an immediate bestseller. This fiercely moving novel was a rallying point for many Americans who came of age during World War II, and it became perhaps the most popular novel of protest during the Vietnam era.

"Johnny Got His Gun" is a novel about Joe Bonham, a 20-year-old man, that has been hit by a shell on the last day of World War One. The novel basically talks about Joe's memories of his family and girlfriend and his friends before he went to the war. It also alternates with what is occurring to Joe while he is in the hospital. He discovers that he has no face, he is deaf, and he has lost all his limbs. He can't do anything except rock from side to side, and he is a prisoner in his own body; he can't communicate with anyone. He later learns how to keep track of time by the amount of times that his nurse visits him. He counts out about six years, and then he discovers that he can communicate by using Morse code. He starts tapping with his head, and the nurse sedates him. Then Joe gets a new nurse that understands that he is trying to communicate, and she gets someone who knows Morse Code to communicate with him. The man that comes is mean and Joe feels bitter. "Johnny Got His Gun" is an anti-war novel, and it talks about what freedom really is and how the dead might really feel and things like that.
