书名《幼狮》,原文为“The Young Lions”,在圣经中有多处出现过the young lions, 一些基督徒认为是指美国,因为这只狮子强壮而年幼,正如美国的势力及它的历史。而作者在这里大概是指战场上这些年轻人吧。在开篇扉页上也恰恰印着圣经旧约中那鸿书的一句话:万军之耶和华说:“我与你为敌,必将你的车辆焚烧成烟,刀剑也必吞没你的少壮狮子。我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的,你使者的声音必不再听见。”(原文为:"I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth. The voices of your messengers will no longer be heard." )
