this impressionistic first novel by the celebrated author of the U. S. A. Trilogy is a harrowing portrait of ambulance drivers in France during World War I. Based on the author's own wartime experiences, it is deeply felt but never maudlin, capturing the raw ambiguities of war with unflinching honesty.
