They are the men of C-for-Charlie Company. "Mad" 1st Sgt. Eddie Welsh, SSgt. Don Doll, Pvt. John Bell, Capt. James Stein, Cpl.

This is their story, a shatteringly realistic walk into hell and back. In the days ahead some will earn medals; others will do anything they can dream up to get evacuated before they land in a muddy grave. But they will all discover the thin red line that divides the sane from the mad, and the living from the dead, in this unforgettable portrait that captures for all time the total experience of men at war.

James Jones’s saga of life in the American Midwest, newly revised five decades after it was first published and including a new foreword by his daughter, Kaylie Jones After the blockbuster international success of From Here to Eternity, James Jones retreated from public life, making his home at the Handy Writers’ Colony in Illinois. His goal was to write something larger than a war novel, and the result, six years in the making, was Some Came Running, a stirring portrait of small-town life in the American Midwest at a time when our country and its people were striving to find their place in the new postwar world. Five decades later, it has been revised and reedited under the direction of the Jones estate to allow for a leaner, tighter read. The result is the masterpiece Jones intended: a tale whose brutal honesty is as shocking now as on the day it was first published. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate.

Some Came Running

Dave Hirsh falder i søvn på en bus i Chicago og vågner først af sin brandert, da bussen stopper i hans fødeby, Parkman i Illinois. Dave har ikke sat fod i Parkman, siden hans storebror Frank for 16 år siden sendte ham på kostskole. I mellemtiden er Frank blevet en respekteret forretningsmand i det lille samfund, og hans oprørske lillebrors pludselige tilstedeværelse truer hans position og gode omdømme. "De rodløse" er en moderne klassiker, der foregår i de fire år mellem 2. verdenskrig og Koreakrigen. Efterhånden som romanen skrider frem, står dens centrale tema klart. Det angår illusion – det gabende svælg imellem hvad mennesket tror, det gør, og hvad det i virkeligheden gør, imellem ét menneskes opfattelse af virkeligheden og et andets. James Jones skildrer med sjælden klarhed, styrke og dristighed gennemsnitsamerikanerens tilværelse, tanker og tilbøjeligheder.
