    <body><![CDATA[This novel is basically about a young man who goes to war. Written by an author who had never experienced war but believed he could write a better war novel than was currently available. If history is any indication - he did as the book is a classic (which is why I read it).<br/><br/><br/>I enjoyed ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50423190">more...</a>]]></body>
