His most famous work is perhaps ''Johnny Got His Gun'', a bitterly anti-war novel that won him the National Book Sellers Award in 1939. The book follows the thoughts of a young [[World War I]] American infantryman who becomes a quadruple [[amputee]], as well as deaf, mute, and blind. Having no way to communicate with the outside world, he spends most of the book reminiscing about his life and meditating on the futility of [[war]] and medical ethics.
