Redvers Dent drew on his own experiences on the Western Front as a soldier with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in writing \u003cem\u003eCry Havoc\u003c\/em\u003e during the late 1920s. The novel depicts a young man named Lionel Thor surviving an incomparable sequence of tragedies and misadventures. As he does, we witness the growth of Thor's mind and his evolving grasp of theology and philosophy in a novel whose depiction of the war is unsparing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eCry Havoc\u003c\/em\u003e was first published in much different form in 1930 under the title \u003cem\u003eShow Me Death\u003c\/em\u003e, following extensive editorial revisions that diminished Dent's artistic achievement and resulted in the novel's falling into undeserved obscurity. Now editor Bruce Meyer, working with a copy of the original manuscript held for generations by the Dent family, has recovered and restored the author's singular voice, for the first time making \u003cem\u003eCry Havoc\u003c\/em\u003e available as Dent wrote it. As Meyer notes in his introduction, \"Few novels about World War I rival \u003cem\u003eCry Havoc\u003c\/em\u003e.... In the end, what emerges is not merely a parable of the pity of war, but a vision of redemption that overcomes the madness and hatred that the war engendered.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to the first-ever publication of the novel in its original form, this Rock's Mills Press edition includes a comprehensive introduction by Bruce Meyer, discussing Dent's life and work and placing the novel in the context of other Great War writings, as well as a glossary of important and sometimes obscure terms used in the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 186\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 11, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48354335817977,"sku":"9781772441062","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/GtXQ24eDGi9781772441062.webp?v=1777961826","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cry-havoc-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
