Volume has a large scuff mark on the front cover, and a remainder mark on the top page edges. Now in protective wrap. From the publisher: "Mr. March was drawn toward the treatment of what one reviewer called 'the eccentric and the horrible'. But his simple matter-of-fact treatment of even the most outlandish episodes give them a startling reality and became his hallmark." "World War I was more than a decade in the past before America was ready for a book like Company K. For William March, who had seen the fighting at first hand, had no apologies to offer, no patriotic slogans to shout, and no illusions to sustain. Really a collection of tightly related episodes rather than a novel, Company K involves the reader intimately in the down-to-earth doings of a group of American fighting men of every sort; in their desperate loneliness, their reckless humor, their cruelties, their fears, their offhand immorality, their profound nobility. Company K still holds its place as a true and penetrating picture of the world's first 'great' war $9.00USD Click here to order or message the dealer
