Annotation

Compares women as angels in three American war novels, Catherine Barkley of A Farewell to Arms, Daphne Poole of John Hersey’s The War Lover (1959), and Sarkin Aung Wan of Tim O’Brien’s Going After Cacciato (1978), arguing that each woman’s affirmation of love and peace guides the hero away from war toward life sustaining values such as commitment and order.
