| | Hemingway Review, The: INFANTRY AND INFANTICIDE IN A FAREWELL TO ARMS |
 | | The trench warfare of World War I, the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, and the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide complicated modernists' interest in "the new," as these atrocities were only "modern" insofar as they employed killing machines and systemic warfare. |
 | | For a war novel, however, A Farewell to Arms ends rather surprisingly, with the strangled and stillborn death of Frederic's and Catherine's infant, and Catherine's subsequent death by hemorrhaging. |
 | | The novel continues to narrate the horror of war and the bonds of love among soldiers and between couples, bonds with the power to sustain characters through ambushes and defection, rain storms and injury. |
