Johnny Got His Gun
Johnny Got His Gun tells the story of Joe Bonham, an American World War I infantryman who was horribly maimed in combat. Bonham survives an explosion, but lost not only his arms and legs, but his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth, making him immobile, deaf, blind, and mute. Bonham does not initially comprehend the full nature of his situation, but, after realizing his condition, learns to communicate with others by tapping his head against his pillow using Morse code. Bonham's wish to be taken on tour as an anti-war display is denied by his military superiors.
In a series of flashbacks, the reader is invited to compare the vibrancy of mundane, ordinary life with the horrors and living death of war. The story also provides a unique perspective on bioethics and advances in medicine.
