Leo Rosten, Victor Gollancz Ltd. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good , price clippedMarkings: No markingsSet against the backdrop of a U.S. Army Air Forces base during World War II, this warmly humorous yet deeply moving novel chronicles the work of Captain Joseph Newman, a dedicated and unconventional psychiatrist running Ward 7 - a locked ward for the most psychologically shattered soldiers of the war. Leo Rosten's Captain Newman, M.D. presents a cast of richly drawn characters, each carrying invisible wounds, and illustrates with both wit and compassion how one man's humanity can cut through military bureaucracy and institutional indifference. The tone balances sharp, irreverent comedy with genuine emotional weight, shifting seamlessly between laughter and heartbreak as Newman and his misfit staff fight to heal men the Army would rather forget. Rosten argues, through story rather than polemic, that true courage is often found not on the battlefield but in the quiet, grueling work of restoring a broken mind. A beloved classic of American fiction, the novel stands as a testament to empathy, resilience, and the enduring cost of war on the human spirit.
