Fiction Adventure
Diamond Head, Hawaii, 1941. Pvt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt is
a champion welterweight and a fine bugler. But when he
refuses to join the company's boxing team, he gets "the
treatment" that may break him or kill him. First Sgt.
Milton Anthony Warden knows how to soldier better than
almost anyone, yet he's risking his career to have an
affair with the commanding officer's wife. Both Warden
and Prewitt are bound by a common bond: the Army is their
heart and blood . . .and, possibly, their death.
In
this magnificent but brutal classic of a soldier's life,
James Jones portrays the courage, violence and passions of
men and women who live by unspoken codes and with
unutterable despair. . .in the most important American
novel to come out of World War II, a masterpiece that
captures as no ther the honor and savagery of
men.
