DESCRIPTION:
These classics of American literature represent a rich reading experience and are pithy, satirical and truer-than-true snapshots of real life in the Navy.. The classic bestselling novels The Last Detail and Cinderella Liberty reprinted in a special Stairway Press edition with a new Foreword by the author
Ponicsan Navy novels of the 60s revisited. Highly entertaining and VERY highly recommended There is still, even forty years later, that same sense of immediacy and "now-ness" about the present tense narration that carries the stories of THE LAST DETAIL and CINDERELLA LIBERTY so briskly and compellingly forward, that keeps the reader eagerly turning pages, wondering what will happen next. Re-reading these brief but powerful novels of the absurdities and injustices of military life in the sixties was like stepping back into my thirty year-old skin, remembering the excitement and delight I felt the first . "Totally entertaining read" according to Allen Wyler. I'd seen Cinderella Liberty and The Last Detail years ago when the movies were first released and always wondered what the books would be like but was unable to find copies in the local library. Then a couple months ago I came across the new Stairway Press edition. In reading the books, I enjoyed the stories even more than the movies. Recommend this book to readers who love great character development and interesting dialog.. The Old Days Navy vets will enjoy this story of the old daysthe book paints a much better picture than the movie ever could.
