When John Dos Passos released this booklet in 1921, its explosive portrait of World Warfare I stunned America. Instead of glorifying the Great Warfare, he shows three men trapped in a military services machine that is really as dangerous for these people as the foreign landscape and the enemies they fight. Fuselli leaves SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA for leading lines in France, stressed to move in the military services ladder of success. Chrisfield, a plantation son from Indiana, seems himself swept along as he marches in a sea of other military. And Andrews, a traditional musician, looks for a feeling of path and interpretation as he joins the rates. Each will be swallowed up and evolved forever by the great, faceless automaton-the Military. Predicated on Dos Passos' own experience as an ambulance driver in European countries during World Warfare I, Three Soldiers is honored as a classic antiwar novel. Sweeping in its scope and crisis, it is riveting historical fiction. Veteran narrator George Guidall's reading conveys all the issues and emotions that bombard the three recruits.
