From Here to Eternity by James Jones
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all timeTHE COMPLETE UNCENSORED EDITION THE WORLD WAR I MASTERPIECE AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE READ WINER OF THE NATIONAL BOK AWARD
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 his 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.
This new edition features an Afterword by George Hendrick, a James Jones scholar, who discusses the novel s origin and eventual censorship at the hands of its first publisher. Now the original language has at last been restored to the most important American novel to come out of World War I. From Here to Eternity re-creates the authentic soldier experience and captures, like nothing else, the honor and savagery of man.
