Review of Johnny Comes Home

Its an old story: a soldier finds out what war is about the hard way, he is damaged psychologically after an appalling accident. An unobtrusive (and unheard) interviewer takes him through the most harrowing time he will probably ever have in graphic detail.
Though he has justified his actions to himself, niggling doubts remain, as do the dreams.
