He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, nose, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body. Considered to be one of the most powerful anti-war novels ever published. Winner of the National Book Award for most Original Book of 1939. Terrifying.
