Title: Robert Jordan s (and Ernest Hemingway s) "True Book": Myths and Moral Quandaries in For Whom the Bell Tolls
Author/Creator: Milton A. Cohen
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.36(2), pp.42-64
Annotation: Examines Hemingway s undermining of the Republic s heroic image in his postwar novel, an image he had sought to preserve in his wartime journalism so as not to jeopardize the Loyalist cause. Cohen explores the narrative s treatment of the Soviets repressive presence, Loyalist atrocities like the massacre in Pilar s village, and Jordan s moral quandaries in fulfilling his mission, concluding that Hemingway s greater aim was to set the record straight regarding the moral ambiguities and dilemmas that surround any war.
