paisley Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 if you haven't read "The Naked and The Dead" read it, his first book I believe... best first hand account of what its like to be in war I've read, quite the eye popper... explains graphically why if you're going to be in the army you don't want to be in the low ranks of the infantry in times of warrest in peace Mr. Mailer... good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
