· The book
was a commercial success and became one of the best-selling books of 1953. It
tells the story of enlisted men, specifically Marines, at the beginning of
World War II. The characters in the book come from various backgrounds and
cover a broad range of American archetypes1. The novel focuses on their
interaction as they learn to put aside their prejudices and biases to bond and
develop esprit de corps.
The story is largely told from the viewpoint of the
Battalion Communications Chief, “Mac,” although it frequently shifts to third
person in scenes where Mac is not personally present1. Other notable characters
include Daniel “Danny” Forester, an All-American boy from Baltimore; Lamont
Quincy “L.Q.” Jones, the unit’s clown; Constantine “Ski” Zvonski, a street
youth from Philadelphia; Marion “Sister Mary” Hodgekiss, a small-town boy and
the unit’s intellectual; Cyril “Seabags” Brown, a farm boy from Iowa; Mortimer
“Speedy” Gray, a cowboy type from Texas; Andrew “Andy” Hookans, a lumberjack
from Washington; and Shining Lighttower, a Navajo Native American.
