Johnny Got His Gun is an anti-war novel written in 1938 by American novelist and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (nonfiction) and published September 1939 by J. B. Lippincott.

The novel won one of the early National Book Awards: the Most Original Book of 1939.

Joe Bonham, a young American soldier serving in World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding artillery shell.

He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body.
