Synopsis:
Retooling his second novel considerably, the acclaimed novelist retells his classic tale of the lives of a squadron of Air Force pilots in occupied France during wartime, rewriting entire sections of the original novel.
Review: "A small gem, a lean, sinewy book that evokes a full and complex world of bitterness, striving and recklessness...[It] leaves the reader stunned, brooding over the heart-wrenching futility of things" Richard Bernstein, New York Times; "The grace and brutality of his writing make him one of our best and most central novelists" Benjamin Kunkel, Los Angeles Times; "There is scarcely a writer alive who could not learn from his passion and precision of language" Peter Matthiessen
