309 pp. Hardcover in original binding and original dust jacket. The first-issue dust jacket retains the original $2.50 price and shows some chipping, tears and splits with minor loss to the spine and edges, along with some light soiling. All in all, a good overall condition for a fragile dust jacket that was known to be cheaply produced during wartime. Boldly signed by Dalton Trumbo on the ffep. Uncommon to find signed and in this overall condition, especially complete with the original dust jacket. "In what is probably the most effective anti-war statement in American literature, Johnny Got His Gun, Trumbo relates the attempt of a soldier who lost his limbs and the power of all his physical senses, except touch, to communicate his convictions about the Great World War to those already preparing for the next one" (Allen, 1386-87). Trumbo was well known as a premiere screenwriter in Hollywood. However, he was blacklisted and jailed for contempt of Congress in 1950, and in 1960 "became the first blacklisted screenwriter to be publicly reinstated" with screen credits in both Exodus and Spartacus. It was during his early years as a screenwriter that he published several novels, of which was this one which went on to win "Most Original Book of 1939" at the National Book Awards that year.…
