Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. xxxviii, 361 pp. ; purple cloth with green lettering on paper paste-down labels ; OCLC reports no copies held by any library ; top edge colored blue ; foxing ; name on front ep ; extremely rare John Dos Passos item features writings from disabled veterans of World War II who studied English composition while attending American University in Washington, DC under Professor Don M. Wolfe, who asked them to write about home, friends and family, the war or whatever came into their minds. THe results were so moving and impressive that Wolfe had 2,000 copies printed at his own expense, while all the profits from Doubleday's edition went directly to the men ; "We cannot state too emphatically that this books is presented not as a literary effort but as a series of social documents."--foreword ; "If a foreigner should ask me what Americans were like in 1946, I would hand him this book. Naturally it is not the whole story. It is only the story of a fairly small group of young men among those most hurt in body and mind by the accidents of war. But somehow, putting down the war experiences that affected them most, these young men have uncovered a much larger segment of the reality of our time than they themselves seem to have been aware of."--John Dos Passos ; details of each serviceman and his unit included ; authors include: Joe V.
