- Annotation
- Examines historical elements in the novel, concluding that while it fails as documentary, it succeeds as a work of invention. Josephs cross-references the believability and reality of Hemingway s Spanish civil war texts such as For Whom the Bell Tolls, Under the Ridge, and The Butterfly and the Tank with his letters of the period to further document Hemingway s reality shifts in support for reading the novel as invention.
