Nineteen Nineteen Author:John Dos Passos Nineteen Nineteen
"The obscenity of the war, 'Mr. Wilson's War,' is Dos Passos' theme, and since this war is the most important political event of the century, he rises to his theme with a brilliance that does not conceal the fury behind it." Thus Alfred Kazin describes Nineteen Nineteen, the central novel of the U.S.A. trilogy.
