Banned in several countries for its overly explicit descriptions of the horrors of war, this book is one of the loudest anti-war statements in twentieth-century literature. In September 1916, as the third year of World War I began, American Ellen N. La Mott published a collection of short stories about her experiences as a nurse in a front-line hospital. Believed to be detrimental to morale, the collection was immediately banned in both England and France, and later censored in America. The book is a unique account of the devastation wrought by war on the human body and spirit, deeply shocking while not lacking in black humor. Highly praised by Gertrude Stein and influencing the style of Ernest Hemingway, this text deserves to be among the most significant books on the wars of the twentieth century.
