The Thin Red Line

The World War II classic by the bestselling author of From Here to Eternity and Whistle, now a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox.They

are the men of C-for-Charlie Company--"Mad" 1st/Sgt. Eddie Welsh,

S/Sgt. Don Doll, Pvt. John Bell, Capt. James Stein, Cpl. Fife, and

dozens more just like them--infantrymen in "this man's army" who are

about to land grim and white-faced on an atoll in the Pacific called

Guadalcanal.  This is their story, a shatteringly realistic walk into

hell and back.  In the days ahead some will earn medals; others

will do anything they can dream up to get evacuated before they land in a

muddy grave.  But they will all discover the thin red line that divides

the sane from the mad--and the living from the dead--in this

unforgettable portrait that captures for all time the total experience

of men at war.
