“This is the most important book about Hemingway in the last 25-30 years, maybe, ever, to my way of thinking about him. This book definitively documents the centrality of war for Hemingway’s work.” — James Meredith, former president of The Ernest Hemingway Foundation
“Exploring Hemingway’s adult life and his literary work through the very focused and significant lens of the idea of war, it’s a book whose spine will be well-worn from pulling it off my shelf for reference.” — Alex Vernon, author of Hemingway’s Second War: Bearing Witness to the Spanish Civil War
