Just read this book over the last few days. I can't decide if it's meant to be taken seriously, or if it's a satire of political propaganda. Certain things like the execution of the deserter, the fight with the merchant sailors, and Rico's father randomly showing up as a corporal (where they have a chance meeting instead of his father having sent him a letter explaining he was alive) make me lean to the latter, as their contrivance took me out of the book and made me wonder if it was parodying tough guy memoirs.

So the novel is pro-fascism, but the movie is anti-fascism?
