About this listen

 Dive into Three Soldiers, a groundbreaking 1920 novel by American writer and critic John Dos Passos. Esteemed as one of the most significant American war novels of World War I, this work remains a cornerstone of the realist war narrative. H.L. Mencken, a prominent literary critic of his time, heralded the book in the Smart Set, asserting that Until Three Soldiers is forgotten and fancy achieves its inevitable victory over fact, no war story can be written in the United States without challenging comparison with it. Mencken noted how Dos Passos unflinching realism reshaped American perceptions of the war and even influenced the memories of actual veterans, stripping away the layers of romanticism and sentimentality that often clouded their experiences. This novel is not just a story; its a powerful exploration of truth in the face of wartime chaos.Copyright Romance Stories Art World
