Reissue of a modern classic – the book that catapulted Norman Mailer to fame on its first publication in 1948.
Based on Mailer's own experience of military service in the Philippines during World War Two, ‘The Naked and the Dead' is a graphically truthful and shattering portrayal of ordinary men in battle. First published in 1949, as America was still basking in the glories of the Allied victory, it altered forever the popular perception of warfare.Buy The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, BooksDirect.
