Riassunto

During his exposure to combat, George "Heck" Tilson, an eighteen-year-old Iowa farm boy drafted into the army during World War II and sent to Normandy just after D-Day, discovers that he is a coward and, shamed by his fear and tormented by the perils around him, struggles to survive the horrors of war. A first novel. 40,000 first printing.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Breathtakingly fine.  Resonate in tone, surprising—as the landscape of human emotion should be surprising—eviscerating in its honesty, faceted in its complexity.  Nick. Arvin has accomplished what only a handful of writers have managed—he has crafted a spare and perfect masterwork.”

—Mark Spragg, author of An Unfinished Life

"[A] fierce, compact tale of one grunt’s war . . . an elegant, understated testament to the stoicism, accidental cowardice and occasional heroics of men under fire."

—Publishers Weekly
