This novel is about the young men who were raised in the harsh reality of the 1930s Great Depression and were born amid the illusory affluence of the 1920s. When they were young, the books they read were pessimistic and anti-war, depicting Americans as heroes, slackers, and suckers. They were all opposed to taking part in another conflict. Throwing baseballs instead of handgrenades and shooting.22s at bunnies instead of M-1s at other young men was what they want. But they battled when it came time for the ultimate test, when freedom was to be given up or fought for (from the Prologue).
