This is the premise of Johnny Got His Gun, an anti-war novel by Dalton Trumbo.
Great book and also where Metallica got the inspiration for their song "One".
Metallica's first ever video. My teenage ass stumbled in one night, turned on Mtv's Headbanger Ball and saw, "The world premiere of Metallica's ONE!"
Jesus help me, did not expect that.
(For those not around at the time, Metallica swore to never sell out and do an Mtv video. Ever.)
They tricked me too. Then that Napster thing happened.
I didn't realize that was Trumbo or that he wrote novels. All I knew of him was scripts. Thanks for that info.
