As they convalesce in a hospital in Memphis, the pain of that knowledge will torment them far worse than any wound.The third of James Jones’s epics based on his life in the army, this posthumously published novel draws on his own experiences to depict the horrors of war and their persistence even after the jungle is left behind.This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate. - Open Road Integrated MediaThe third novel in Jones’s classic World War II trilogy: a moving story of four World War II infantrymen coping with the difficulties of recovering at an army hospital and learning to readjust to the home frontAt the end of a long journey across the Pacific, a ship catches sight of California.
