The book is a first-person account of an American serving in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army The novel follows the love affair of the expatriate American and an English nurse. Considered one of Hemingway's best works, the novel was not published in Italy until 1948 because the regime considered it an insult to the Armed Forces with an eluded-to anti-militarism theme.
