Drawing on his own combat experience with the Union forces, John W.
De Forest crafted a war novel like nothing before it in the annals
of American literature. His first-hand knowledge of "the wilderness
of death" made its way on to the pages of his riveting novel with
devastating effect. Whether depicting the tedium before combat, the
unspoken horror of battle, or the grisly butchery of the field
hospital, De Forest broke new ground, anticipating the realistic
war writings of Ernest Hemingway, Norman Mailer, and Tim O'Brien.
A commercial failure in its own day, De Forest's story was
praised by Henry James and William Dean Howells, who, comparing it
favorably to War and Peace, acclaimed the book "one of the best
American novels ever written."
