Ripe with irony, humor and realism, Odell Myer's novel of young men called away to war simultaneously grips and embraces readers. Drawn into the narrative, readers soar and triumph—and crash and burn with the Myer's characters. His story has an astonishing ability to transport his listeners back to that period of time when very young people, through sacrifice and heroism, set the future course of human history. All the while they expressed their humanity in laughter, tears and love.
