An amusing, satirical anti-war novel, written in 1921 about a brilliant idiot's enthusiastic adventures in the First World War.
Overly long, but on occasion laugh-out-loud funny. And, as with any good satire - its' not that the author has confabulated, it's merely that he has that ear for the absurdity of existence. This was - I strongly suspect - one of the principal inspirations behind "Catch-22".
