Book Description
Part One Of Two Parts Irwin Shaw was a noted playwright and author of short stories when his first novel, THE YOUNG LIONS, was published in 1948. The work was a best seller and established Shaw as a major American novelist. Set in WW II, the book traces three young men, two Americans and a German, from 1938 to 1945 when they meet as soldiers in a Bavarian forest. The outcome, as in any tragedy, is preordained, but it leaves the reader with a deep appreciation of the tensions of those times and what it meant to be in combat, in earnest, in a war where the issues were clearly drawn.
