Book Description

"Warren thought of many, many things with his duffle bag heavy on his shoulder, his fingers flexing and tightening around the curve of the thick, steel railing, his eyes passing lightly over the business of unloading a troopship, but most of all he thought about going home. For him the worst of the Army was over; for him, even though the actual fighting had ceased many months ago, there had followed the ordeal of occupation, the dreary policing of unpoliceable people. He watched the gangplank moving slowly; he tried to be patient." --
