A Gallery Of WWII Artists combined with some of Jones's best writing, perhaps his best since 'From Here to Eternity'. Illustrations include work by Tom Lea, Bill Mauldin, Howard Brodie, George Baker, captured Japanese and German combat art, and the combat art of the Allied Forces. "James Jones (1921-1977), one of the major novelists of his generation, is known primarily as the author of fiction that probes the effects of World War II on the individual soldier. Born in Robinson, Illinois, Jones entered the U.S. Army and had the distinction of being the only individual who would become a major writer to witness the attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor. A member of the 27th U.S. Infantry Regiment (25th Division), Jones was wounded at Guadalcanal and returned to Robinson, where he started to write about his experiences eventually producing the critically acclaimed international bestseller 'From Here to Eternity' (1951). He assisted in the creation of the Handy Writers' Colony in Marshall, Illinois (which lasted from 1949 to 1964) before taking up residence in Paris as part of the Second Generation of American Expatriate writers and artists. Jones's other novels are 'Some Came Running' (1957), 'The Pistol' (1959), 'The Thin Red Line' (1962), 'Go to the Widow-Maker' (1967), 'The Merry Month of May' (1971), 'A Touch of Danger '(1973), and 'Whistle' (1978). Jones published an acclaimed short-story collection, 'The Ice-Cream Headache and Other Stories' (1968), a nonfictional history of World War II from the viewpoint of the soldier, 'WWII' (1975), and a book of essays, 'Viet Journal' (1975). Jones's selected letters [mainly concerned with the craft of writing] were published in 1989. Of the trio of American writers on the big scale who emerged in the '50s--Mailer, Styron and Jones--the last has the most problematic reputation. This is partly because he was the least educated of them and his writing was, to put it kindly, less eloquently shaped [Drieser comes to mind]; but also in part because he seemed insufficiently self-critical and sometimes wrote large chunks of what seemed like barely digested naturalism [e.g. 'Some Came Running']. His raw emotional, but nonetheless considerable, talents as a writer seemed best-suited to describe the military world, in and out of combat, and less so the post-war world of America and Europe. His critical standing has only increased since his death." - James Jones Literary Society. " After he moved back to the United States in the mid-seventies, Jones was approached by Art Weithas, head art director of YANK, with an offer to write the text for a picture book of World War II graphic art. Jones was again reluctant to set aside 'Whistle' for another book; his decision this time was not influenced by a desire for adventure, but by the World War II art that he saw. A trip to Washington to see some of the actual art as well as files of photographs of paintings and drawings got Jones even more excited about the project. He agreed with Weithas that something ought to be done with the art so people could see it and think about it, something Jones thought particularly important since "...thirty-five years has glossed it all over and given World War II a polish and a gloss that it did not have at the time." Though the six months Jones spent writing 'WW II' would have enabled him to finish Whistle, the time devoted to 'WW II' was not wasted. Because of the quality of the graphic material and Jones's text, 'WW II' is far superior to most coffee table books. The information Jones provided about his army experiences offers insight into his stories and novels, and Jones in 'WW II' discussed his concept of the evolution of a soldier, central to Jones's work and dramatized so effectively in the army trilogy. While many reviewers approached 'WW II' with misgivings (common was the view of Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, who felt that the war was too big, and Jones's view of it too limited for him to be successful writing about it in this way), the critical response was almost universally favorable. Herbert Kupferberg, in the National Observer, said that the illustrations in 'WW II' are "spectacular and revealing," and like many reviewers argued that the book was more than just a collection of pictures. Jones's text, he wrote, "actually grows from the pictures, and it provides a genuine sense of the peril and drudgery that composed the life of the average doughfoot." This, most critics agreed, was the greatest strength of 'WW II', and some thought so highly of the book they called it Jones's best work since 'From Here to Eternity'. Art Weithas asked Jones to supply the text to accompany a collection of World War II art. He got more than that. Jones produced a text which could stand alone without the support of the artwork as a presentation of a viewpoint of the war which was often disregarded, that of the common soldier, and as a nonfiction appendix to his war trilogy which was completed with the publication of Jones's next, and final, book." - Michael Mullen.
