An allegorical story of World War I, set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment. Faulkner himself fought in the war, and his descriptions of it comprise some of the most powerful scenes he ever conceived. Front flap of dust jacket is unclipped ($4.75 at the top and 8/54 at the bottom). A very good copy of his novel that won both the 1955 National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
