Parts of Story

A title contest is under way for this extraordinary novel -- so watch the pages of P. W. for the announcement. And don't miss the book, as we prophesy it is one of the dark horses of the Spring -- and one with a good chance for winning high stakes.... A war story, in the tradition of All Quiet, with something of the emotional tension of Journey's End. A stirring and powerful book, and an indictment of war, through the relentless process of the story of jealousy and ambition and strife in high places and low. The French army on the Western Front -- and a denouement that is as unexpected as it is unendurable.
