About
In Dalton Trumbo's 1939 book, Johnny Got His Gun, we meet Joe Bonham, a World War I soldier who wakes up to find that he has lost his arms, legs, and face, but not his mind. As he struggles to adjust to his new life and makes attempts at communicating, he remembers what he had before the war and contemplates how he'll go forward.
