Dell. September 1, 19. Paperback. Near Fine. King Rat is named after the central character in Clavell's spellbinding mas terpiece about the brutality of prison camp life in Japanese-occupied, Worl d War II Malaya. The King, an American corporal, seeks to dominate both cap tives and captors by his courage, profound insight into human frailties, an d pragmatic American business techniques in a class-ridden society where Ja panese and British actions are bound by bankrupt codes of "honor." The nove l, originally published in 1962, is made more engrossing by flashbacks to t he home front.
