Three Soldiers is a 1921 novel by American author John Dos Passos. It is one of the best American war novels of World War I and remains a classic of the war novel genre. Three Soldiers shows the lives of a trio of Army privates: Fuselli, an Italian American store administrator from San Francisco; Chrisfield, a farmboy from Indiana; and Andrews, a musically gifted Harvard graduate from New York. This novel was renowned as a masterpiece upon its original publication in 1921. Three Soldiers is an investigation into the grasping themes of fear and ambition, obedience and rebellion, desertion and violence, and the severe and dehumanising impacts of a regimented war machine on ordinary soldiers.
