Published on the 60th anniversary of From Here to Eternity winning the 1952 National Book Award for fiction, this new unexpurgated edition of James Jones's classic World War II novel has been completely restored to his original work. Set in Hawaii in 1941, it follows army private Robert E. Lee Prewitt, a champion welterweight who refuses to box again after injuring a fellow soldier, and who now must endure "the treatment" from his superiors, and First Sgt. Milton Anthony Warden, risking his career to have an affair with his commanding officer's wife. An authority on Jones, George Hendricks provides a new afterword explaining what exactly was cut from Jones's manuscript—depictions of homosexual sex in the military, strong political views, and offensive language too controversial for the 1950s—and correspondence between Jones and his editors. William Styron also provides a new foreword with a poignant remembrance of Jones, his friend and confidant.
