Usually dispatched within 3 - 5 business days.
£ 10.71
The five personal and intensely powerful tales that make up this collection draw upon William Styron''s real-life experiences in the US Marine Corps, and give us an insight into the early life of one of America''s greatest modern writers. The stories are set in the gruelling camps and sweltering training fields which mark the limbo point between civilian life and the horrors of war. The stories tell of young men embarking on suicidal 1000 mile roundtrips to New York to see their girlfriends on 36 hour leave periods; the surreal experience of being conscripted for a second time to serve in the Korean War; and the frustration and isolation of returning home when service is over.The Suicide Run brings to life the drama, inhumanity, absurdity and heroism that forever changed the men who served in the Marine Corps.
