Description
Set against the sweeping campaigns of World War II, this military novel follows a group of young American lieutenants as they leave behind ambition and innocence to face combat in North Africa and Europe.

With a keen eye for battlefield pressures and the bonds forged under fire, the novel explores the transformation of idealistic young officers into seasoned soldiers and professionals.
