Written just after the war ended, in the early days of the emerging Cold War, the novel daringly engages with the authoritarian impulses in the American character. 600 10 $a Mailer, Norman $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Pacific Area $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marines $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a War stories. 700 1 $a Lennon, Michael, $e editor. $4 edt. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 364. 941 $a 6 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012831.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012408.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031625.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014930.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230322013420.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4F9E1026A2C711ED850ED7DB26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
