One Man's Initiation: 1917 by John Dos Passos, Fiction, Classics, Literary, War & Military by John Dos Passos

3.0

This is a four-star book marred by a two-star ending. A series of jagged, abrupt vignettes with great imagery evokes the experiences of an American ambulance driver in the Great War, but it's rather spoiled by a heavy-handed discussion of a new world order by the various soldiers and noncombatants at the end. Still worthwhile for its prose style and recommended as a notable contemporary account.
