A WALK IN THE SUN

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1944. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Review copy, with the publisher's slip laid in. An understated yet gripping and realistic tale of the randomness and impersonal nature of combat during the Second World War. This slim novel served as the basis for the 1945 Lewis Milestone film starring Dana Andrews with narration by Burgess Meredith. Small octavo. Original light brown cloth binding, with gilt and burgundy stamping. Some minor edgewear to the dust jacket; otherwise very good. (Inventory #: 72441)
