A novel of men bonded by friendship and burned by war, by Pulitzer nominee and Edgar winner, John McAleer. Unit Pride, hailed as one of the greatest war stories of our time, tells not only of the wages of war, but of the bond of friendship in unlikely places. For both Billy and Dewey, it as kill or be killed, and each looked to the other to make it through the war alive. In the worst of times they leaned on each other to survive nightmarish ordeals such as watching a prisoner get rifle--whipped in the face, then hearing him get shot to death in a nearby thicket. In the best of times they staved off boredom and depression by befriending French troops and patronising the local Japanese brothels. Unit Pride is the emotional and gripping story of mid-twentieth-century warfare, of courage and camaraderie, and what it takes to be a hero. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I had already enjoyed it a great deal, then the 'epilogue' - which actually describes the surprising series of real-world events that led to the book being written - was basically a whole epic saga of its own. Seriously, that short chapter at the end could make for a whole book (or movie adaptation!) itself. ( )
