This novel by author William Eastlake is semi-autobiographical, and it was the first major novel
to use the real language of the soldier, uncensored and true-to-life.
Both the Dalkey Archive Press
and the Review of Contemporary Fiction were created to establish a safe
haven for literary art that will protect it from its uncertain fate in the marketplace.
While the Review existed to create interest in the work of these writers, many of
their books were not available. So, in 1984, Dalkey Archive Press was established to
restore such works and to publish new books by contemporary authors. As of 1999,
the Press has published nearly 200 books. Visit www.dalkeyarchive.com for more
