Edité par Little, Brown & Company, Boston, 1937

Description: Dust jacket art by Paul Wenck. From the jacket blurb: ''The year is 1928. On the outskirts of a large German city three young men are earning a thin and precarious living. Fully armed young storm troopers swagger in the streets. Restlessness, poverty and violence are everywhere. This is the scene as the curtain rises on 'Three Comrades.' Nothing of this political upheaval belonged to the three. It was the concern of the people whose way of life they had found it impossible again to accept since the time when war had exploded in their hearts and left them empty. To fill that void they had only their friendship, an islet in a sea of chaos.'' This was the basis for the 1938 film of the same name, starring Franchot Tone, Robert Taylor, Robert Young and Margaret Sullavan. A 1999 film called Flowers from the Victors, though set in Russia in the 1990s was based on this book.
