No one saw them, except a burly policeman, who evidently had charge of the traffic at the door. He poked his club into the ribs of the one-legged, slowly shuffling Maynard and said with cheerful gruffness: "Step lively, Buddy, step lively!" What follows after Lane and Maynard get home is nearly so simply and neatly done. A brave and interesting mess. Lane soon discovers that the girl he was engaged to has broken it off and brazenly dances with other men in front of him, the little sister he adored has become a wanton flirt who speaks in the most atrocious slang.Though only away for three years, Lane finds himself completely out of step with postwar America. Still in his early twenties he came across as closer in age to a pensioner, disgusted with the moral decline typified by short skirts and jazz.

The novel begins: Late in June the vast northwestern desert of wheat began to take on a tinge of gold, lending an austere beauty to that endless, rolling, smooth world of treeless hills, where miles of fallow ground and miles of waving grain sloped up to the far-separated homes of the heroic men who had conquered over sage and sand. The son of a German Farmer in Washinton state during WWI, decides to join the Army to fight the Germans and "kill" the German part of his heritage. Along the way, he falls in love with the daughter of a rich farmer, and then has to protect her and himself from a worldwide labor organization that is reaking havoc all over the country to cause problems with the war effort. An interesting, if very melodramatic, take on World War I
