A PASSIONATE PRODIGALITY, by Guy Chapman. This memoir of life and death in the trenches is an authentic classic of World War I, an elegy for a generation, written unsentimentally and unforgettably.
THE LAST BATTLE, by Cornelius Ryan. Historian-Journalist Ryan recounts the fall of Hitler's capital and details the Allied blunders that gave Stalin Berlin.
THE DOUBLE IMAGE, by Helen Maclnnes. Master Spywriter Maclnnes again pits an innocent and firm-chinned hero against a murderous crew of spies, and again the result is a topnotch suspense tale.
A GENEROUS MAN, by Reynolds Price. A North Carolina country boy comes to terms with the joys and responsibilities of manhood in this buoyant, funny novel.
THE FATAL IMPACT, by Alan Moorehead. History becomes moral drama in this engrossing study of the effect of the European Enlightenment on the primitive societies of the Pacific.
TOO FAR TO WALK, by John Hersey. A deft portrayal of the collegiate scene more than compensates for Author Hersey's too-clever tale of a sophomore who sells his soul to the Devil.
ACCIDENT, by Nicholas Mosley. This literary jigsaw puzzle about an Oxford philosophy don has its spellbinding moments, but some of the pieces are missing.
