Who wrote "A Farewell to Arms"?

Supposedly, the plot of the novel, was based on Hemingway's own experience in WWI. Hemingway tried to enlist in the U.S. Army. but failed the physical. He also failed the physical in Italy, but was accepted as a driver for ambulances. Hemingway found himself driving into the heat of war battles and was injured. After 1 of his more serious wounds, he met a nurse and they fell in love. However. Hemingway had to return to the war. He could never find her after the war. Most of Hemingway's novels and short stories are based on either his own life or on the lives of his friends, which cost him many friendships. He rarely tried to even disguise, who the real life people were so he often left his "friends" feeling betrayed and humiliated.

SparkyChaz2018, Holy mackerel! Thank you for that great info, Sparky. This game is full of surprises. Who knew that the comments would be so educational? Muah!🕊✌🌎💚💜💙

Great book as is For Whom the Bells Toll & The Old Man and the Sea. I had my wife read The Sun Also Rises and she didn't like it, I did.

I was born in the same hospital as Hemingway in Oak Park, Illinois. 😁
