Editorial Reviews

Published by Scribner in 1923, Boyd's novel of U.S. Marines in World War I received high praise for its authenticity. It follows William Hacks, an average soldier who slowly loses his sanity as the war progresses. His seeming bravery under fire gains him the admiration of his fellows, but his composure in fact results from his emotional anesthetization from battle. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
