      abstract = {These novels record the emergence of John Dos Passos as a  chronicler of the upheavals of the early 20th century. "In  One Man's Initiation:" 1917 an idealistic young American  serving as a volunteer ambulance driver in France learns of  the fear, uncertainty, and camaraderie of war. "Three  Soldiers" engages in a deeper exploration of the impact of  World War I upon an increasingly fractured civilization.  The novel depicts the experiences of three Americans as  they fight in the final battles of the war and then  confront a world in which peace offers little respite from  the dehumanizing servility and regimentation of militarized  life. "Manhattan Transfer" is a kaleidoscopic portrait of  New York City in the first two decades of the 20th century  that follows the changing fortunes of more than a dozen  characters as they strive to make sense out of the chaos of  modern turban existence.},
