About This Item

Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Dust Jacket. This old book with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This is a thick hardcover book with 463 pages. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. There is an embossed "Library Of" stamp on the second end paper. The pages are clean with no soiling, writing, or tears. The copyright page shows 1957 as the published date. There is a price of $4.95 on the DJ flap. The dust jacket shows light edgewear (No Chips). I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this old book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy cardboard box!

Synopsis

They were our husbands, our fathers, our lovers, our sons. They were Americans and Marines. And this is their story: The Big War, Anton Myrer's panoramic novel of Marines in the Pacific in World War II. This is the story of Alan Newcombe, the Boston society Harvard man; Danny Kantaylis, the natural-born leader; Jay O'Neill, the barroom scrapper. Myrer does not glorify war; he does not flinch from describing what the actual experience of warfare was like for a desperate group of Marines trapped in some of the worst fighting conditions of the war. We learn about their lives at home and their fates on the battlefield.
