Description
Three discharged servicemen, honorably for medical reasons, struggle to re-adjust to "normal life" in the same town, in the last days of WWII, and its challenge to the comradeship of shared danger and sacrifice that they knew as soldiers. A national epic, told in the language of the common man, in the language of the poet; told only as America could tell it. blue cloth hardcover title on spine in powder blue rectangle with gold leaf
First Sentence
"Fred Derry, twenty-one, and killer of a hundred men, walked on the width of Welburn Field. The cargo ship had set him down in noontime haze of early spring. He smelled the onion farms; He heard the trucks in Highway 52. He saw the signboards, and the ugliness that was a beauty he had dreamed."
