A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.<br /> <br /> A compelling collection of Steinbeck's World War II dispatches originally written for the New York Herald Tribune during his time as a war correspondent in 1943. Eschewing conventional battlefield reportage Steinbeck focuses instead on the daily lives of soldiers - capturing moments of boredom humor fear and quiet endurance with remarkable immediacy and empathy.<br /> <br /> These pieces drawn from Steinbeck's experiences in England North Africa and Italy reveal a deeply human perspective on war emphasizing the individuality of the common soldier rather than the abstractions of strategy or politics. The result is a work of enduring power - part journalism part literature - standing alongside the finest war writing of the twentieth century.<br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A39a.
