Summary
Dalton Trumbo: Johnny went to war
translation: Daša Drndić
The book "Johnny went to war" (1939) was important underground literature that had a strong influence on the followers of the beat and hippie movements, but also on the entire post-war generation. Unfortunately, given that wars have been going on for millennia, and probably won't stop anytime soon, the uncompromising anti-war message of this terrifying story will, by all accounts, be relevant for a long time to come.
