- Compares women as angels in three American war novels, Catherine Barkley of A Farewell to Arms, Daphne Poole of John Hersey s The War Lover (1959), and Sarkin Aung Wan of Tim O Brien s Going After Cacciato (1978), arguing that each woman s affirmation of love and peace guides the hero away from war toward life sustaining values such as commitment and order.
