Three Soldiers

  • New York: George H. Doran Company, 1921
By Dos Passos, John
New York: George H. Doran Company, 1921. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. First printing, with three preliminary blanks, no terminal blanks, and misprint "signing" on page 213; in first state dust jacket (without the reviewer quotes). A Fine copy of the book in nearly Fine dust jacket. Book is clean, fresh and appears unread. Small bookseller's ticket to front free endpaper. Jacket with minor fading to the spine, but otherwise bright and without chips or tears. An excellent copy.

A key antiwar novel, and one that brought Dos Passos widespread recognition. Centered on three main characters (including one loosely based upon the author himself) it gives wide-ranging viewpoints of the experiences of World War One soldiers from a variety of backgrounds. It was one of the first novels to challenge the dominating attitutes of the war years. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
