Description

In 1917, shortly after the United States' declaration of war on Germany, Guy Emerson Bowerman, Jr., enlisted in the American army's ambulance service. Like other young ambulance drivers—Hemingway, Dos Passos, Cummings, Cowley—Bowerman longed to "see the show." He was glad to learn that the ambulance units were leaving for France right away. This remarkable chronicle of one young man's rite of passage is destined to become a classic in the literature of the Great War.
