Abstract

Close reading of Krebs’s postwar exclusion from family and community due to his violent and licentious combat experience, both dangerous threats to insulated midwestern America. Draws on Henry’s execution of the Italian sergeant in A Farewell to Arms to illustrate the lasting effects of wartime experience on returning soldiers seeking a “separate peace.”
