- Annotation
- Detailed account of Hemingway s volunteer ambulance service at the Italian front during World War I. Florczyk examines the major influence Hemingway s early involvement with the Red Cross had on his later writings about Italy, including his Toronto Star journalism, In Our Time, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, Across the River and into the Trees, and others. Draws on established biography along with primary materials such as the diary and correspondence of the unit s commanding officer, official government documents, and contemporaneous newspaper accounts published by volunteers at the front. Includes a helpful map of the Italian theater of war, numerous black-and-white photographs of Hemingway and the Red Cross, and images of newspaper articles, letters, and ambulance reports. Extensive notes and bibliography.
