Finally found this fucking thing. Made a huge impact on me as a kid, glad it’s taught in schools.

i remember reading this in high school for an essay and i thoroughly enjoyed the book and writing the essay.

Francis Joseph Cassavant is 18. He has just returned home from the Second World War, and he has no face. He does have a gun and a mission: to murder his childhood hero. Francis lost most of his face when he fell on a grenade in France. He received the Silver Star for bravery, but was it really an act of heroism? Now, having survived, he is looking for a man he once admired and respected, a man adored my many people, a man who also received a Silver Star for bravery. A man who destroyed Francis’s life.
