Description

Irwin Shaw’s classic novel stands among the best fictional depictions of World War II

Told from the points of view of one German and two very different Americans, this sweeping fresco brings home the reality of the most important historical event between the Great Depression and September 11, 2001: the Second World War.

Considered by critics to be one of the most lucid visions of war in American fiction, The Young Lions remains a benchmark of twentieth-century war literature. It was made into the famous film starring Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and Dean Martin.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Irwin Shaw including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

He went on to write several more plays, more than a dozen screenplays, two works of nonfiction, dozens of short stories (for which he won two O. Henry awards), and twelve novels, including Rich Man, Poor Man (1970).
