Publisher's Synopsis
When Johnny Comes Marching Home is a novel written by Mildred Aldrich in 1919. The book is set during World War I and follows the lives of several American soldiers who are fighting in France. The story is told from the perspective of a woman named Mary, who is living in a small French village near the front lines. Mary becomes deeply involved in the lives of the soldiers and their families, and she spends much of her time caring for wounded soldiers and helping their loved ones cope with the realities of war. As the war drags on and the casualties mount, Mary and the soldiers she has come to know must confront the harsh realities of death and loss. When Johnny Comes Marching Home is a powerful and moving portrait of the human cost of war, and it remains a classic work of American literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
