This swift, biting novel follows four U.S. Navy flyers as they return from intense combat in the South Pacific during World War II. Set during a brief, alcohol-fueled, and amorous leave in San Francisco, the narrative serves as a powerful look at the psychological trauma, restlessness, and emotional turbulence of soldiers attempting to readjust to civilian life while struggling with what we now recognize as PTSD.
