Johnny Got His Gun is set entirely in the mind of Joe Bonham, as he lies in a hospital bed after being wounded in 1918 on the Western Front (WWI). Over the course of the novel, Bonham shares the events from his past, beginning with his childhood and moving on through his horrifying experience in the trenches during WWI.
