The Young lions.

by Irwin Shaw

"The Young Lions is a classic novel that vividly portrays the experiences of ordinary soldiers fighting in World War II. Using the points of view of a perceptive young Nazi, a jaded American film producer, and a shy Jewish boy just married to the love of his life, Shaw conveys the scope, confusion, and complexity of war."--BOOK JACKET.
