Product Description

Product Description
In the blaze of a Carolina summer, among the poison ivy and loblolly pines, eight Marines are killed almost casually by misfired mortar shells. Deciding that his battalion has been 'doping off', Colonel Templeton calls for a 36-mile forced march to inculcate discipline. The Long March is a searing account of this ferocious ordeal - and of the two officers who resist.

About the Author
Born at Newport News, Virginia, in 1925, William Styron was educated at Duke University. He served in the Marine Corps during the last war, and was recalled to service during the Korean War. After 1952, he lived mainly in Europe, before settling in a rural part of Connecticut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Novel on the futility of War, 15 Aug 2003
By A Customer
William Styron is a superb writer, he has a highly creative style but combines this with being easy to read. This short novel considers one very hard day in the life of two marine reservists. It indicates what can happen when intelligent, independent people are placed under the control of a sadistic institution with no recourse to quitting or complaining. The heroes of the story are two marines who served in the second world war, spent half a dozen years getting good jobs & lives for themselves, and were then called up for the Korean war. Their frustrations are spelled out over the backdrop of a 35 mile forced route march under an unforgiving sun. Altogether an unputdownable piece of writing by one of America's best novelists
