Summary
A squad of young American soldiers encounters a similar outfit of young German soldiers on Christmas night near the end of the Second World War. On this particular cold night, far from their respective homes, neither group is inclined to kill or be killed, and between them they begin to discuss plans for the Germans to surrender with dignity. When comradery and reason seem to be carrying the day, fate and tragedy soon step in.

The Naked and the Dead
by Norman Mailer
Hailed as one of the finest novels to come out of the Second World War, The Naked and the Dead received unprecedented critical acclaim upon its publication and has since enjoyed a long and well-deserved tenure in the American canon. This fiftieth anniversary edition features a new introduction created especially for the occasion by Norman Mailer. Written in fascinating detail, the story follows a platoon of foot soldiers who are fighting for the possession of the Japanese-held island of Anopopei. Composed in 1948 with the wisdom of a man twice Mailer's age and the raw courage of the young man he was, The Naked and the Dead is representative of the best in twentieth-century American writing.
