Book Club Edition noted on the inner flap of the Jacket

What would you do if you had but one more year to live?  Battle wounded Capt. Turner decides to use his year finding out what happened to some of his comrades after the war and what he found makes superb reading.  You'll met snobbish Phil Morgan, the pilot who hated foreigners yet who found happiness in a strange land.  You'll sympathize with young Duggie Brent the paratrooper who found he actually knew nothing but how to kill men efficiently.  And you'll suffer with Dave Lesurier the shy Negro G.I. who got into bad trouble...
