Three classic World War II novels in one collection, including the
National Book Award winner From Here to Eternity. An army base at
Pearl Harbor. The jungles of Guadalcanal. A veterans hospital on the
home front. Inspired by his own experiences in the US Army, author
James Jones's World War II Trilogy stands as one of the most
significant achievements in war literature. This compilation includes:
From Here to Eternity Pearl Harbor, 1941. A challenging young private
is transferred to a unit where the commander is determined to make his
life hell. This edition includes scenes and dialogue censored for the
novel's original publication. A true classic, From Here to Eternity
was made into an Academy Award–winning film and a television
mini-series, as well as adapted for the stage. The Thin Red Line The
invasion of Guadalcanal ignites a six-month battle for two thousand
square miles of jungle and sand. But the soldiers of Charlie Company
are not of the heroic mold. The unit's captain is too intelligent and
sensitive for the job, his first sergeant is half mad, and the
enlisted men begin the campaign gripped by cowardice. This searing
portrait of jungle combat has been adapted twice for feature films.
Whistle After a long journey across the Pacific, a ship finally lands
on American soil. For the soldiers' loved ones, it's a celebration.
But on board, hundreds of men are broken and haunted, survivors of the
battle to wrest the South Seas from the Japanese Empire. Though on
their way to heal in a Tennessee hospital, their road to recovery will
take far more than mending physical wounds. This ebook features an
illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the
author's estate.
