These Good Men: Friendship Forged from War

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crown Publishers, 1989. Hardback. In the spring of 1984, the author set out to find his comrades. Marienes who had survived a lethal ambush at a forgotten bridge. But what began as an attempt to reconnect old ties quickly turned into something more profound: a classic search for meaning, an age-old examination of the self. Norman's travels carried him halfway around the world and back, more than 50,000 miles. In the end, the story took more than five years to write. From them the author has created a brillinatly evocative memoir, a story of interlocking lives that will be hailed as the consummate portrait of an entire generation. These are the kind of men we rarely meet from that war, resilient and independent, men to whom loyality and reputation are more important than life itself. Illustrated. 310 pp.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
