When Bernie Jones went to war in 1918 he was part of a transition
that changed the whole nature of our country. Born just before the
turn of the Century, he grew up in a day when Kansas City, Missouri
was on the dividing live between a maturing nation and the old wild
west. He and his gang of boyhood friends looked on their advent
into the United States Army as a great camp-out with little chance
of real action. It was supposed that the German forces would fold
the minute they saw fresh new troops opposite them in the trenches
of France. It didn't happen. They fought fierce last-ditch
engagements at Chateau Thierry, Saint Mihiel, and especially the
Argonne. Bernie and his friends find their moments-of-truth in that
last desperate fighting. When the smoke clears, he is left alone to
go home to an uncertain future in a country that would never again
be isolated. His stressed-out mind is full of bloody images and
self-doubts, leaving him to rely on a tenuous faith that promises
to keep him alive until the time when he can reorient himself and
begin life over again.
