<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Soon to be a major motion picture, this classic war novel by the author of "From Here to Eternity" tells the story of the men of C-for-Charlie company before, during, and after the Allied effort at Guadalcanal. "Brutal, direct, and powerful".--"Los Angeles Times". <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>They are the men of C-for-Charlie company--"Mad" 1st Sgt. Eddie Welsh, Pvt. 1st Class Don Doll, Pvt. John Bell, Capt. James Stein, Cpl. Fife, and dozens more just like them--infantrymen who are about to land, grim and white-faced, on an atoll in the Pacific called Guadalcanal. This is their story, a shatteringly realistic walk into hell and back. <p/> In the days ahead, some will earn medals, others will do anything they can dream up to get evacuated before they land in a muddy grave. But they will all discover the thin red line that divides the sane from the mad--and the living from the dead--in this unforgettable portrait that captures for all time the total experience of men at war. <p/><b> Foreword by Francine Prose</b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>"Brutal, direct, and powerful . . .
