This series of war-time stories won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948. Several formed the basis for the Rogers and Hammerstein hit musical South Pacific. Amid the war and the horseplay, theyre all here: the middle-aged French planter and the Navy nurse, the Lieutenant and the native girl, Bloody Mary, Bali Hai.
A great story. This book has aged well since it was written.
Interesting collection of tales from WWII South Pacific arena. Offers an insider view of military exploits during that time with a focus on personal relationships.
