James Jones, who won the 1952 National Book Award for his debut novel, 'From Here to Eternity,' published the non-fiction account of his experience in WWII over twenty years later in 1975. The book guides readers through all of the ugliness and emotional turmoil of the war, all of the adventure and humor too, leaving no stone unturned. Award-winning art director of Yank magazine, Art Weithas, brought together the incredibly moving art for this book, with some of the combat art making their very first appearances to the public here within these pages.
