Diamond Head, Hawaii, 1941.  Pvt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt is a champion welterweight and a fine bugler.  But when he refuses to join the company's boxing team, he gets "the treatment" that may break him or kill him.  First Sgt. Milton Anthony Warden knows how to soldier better than almost anyone, yet he's risking his career to have an affair with the commanding officer's wife.  Both Warden and Prewitt are bound by a common bond:  the Army is their heart and blood . . .and, possibly, their death.
In this magnificent but brutal classic of a soldier's life, James Jones portrays the courage, violence and passions of men and women who live by unspoken codes and with unutterable despair. . .in the most important American novel to come out of World War II, a masterpiece that captures as no ther the honor and savagery of men.
Jones’s literary debut, From Here to Eternity, became an international bestseller and Academy Award–winning film following its publication in 1951. It earned Jones the National Book Award and established him as a leading American author of the World War II generation. Now, for the first time, previously censored scenes and dialogue have been restored to the text of From Here to Eternity. The Restored Edition includes never-before-seen passages that were cut from the original manuscript, including those containing reference to homosexuality in the military, four-letter words, political material, and philosophical content about art and society. This edition also features a new afterword by renowned Jones expert George Hendrick, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois, exploring the editing and censorship process of From Here to Eternity.
