Strange Meeting

Передня обкладинка
David R. Godine Publisher, 1992 - 182 стор.
Portrays the friendship of two young officers during World War I. Hilliard is a veteran of combat, a reserved and isolated young man who prefers the stark reality of the front line, where he follows orders and makes only simple decisions based on life or death, to the political and social complications of his previous existence in England. He is initially displeased to find he will be sharing quarters with a new officer, Barton, but he soon warms to the open honesty and affectionate nature of his room-mate. Barton causes him to re-evaluate his approach to the war, to family, and to his whole philosophy of living.
