Synopsis
Walt stood up, slapped his thighs, and began to crow like a cock. 'Bring on the whole German army!' he shouted. 'Bring them on all together, or one at a time. I can whip them all!'
The greatest First World War novel to come out of America, Company K is the unforgettable account of one US Marine company, from initial training, through to the trenches in France and post-war rehabilitation.
Written in 1933 by a decorated Marine hero, this is an unflinching, visceral depiction of the brutal reality of war. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
March's book has the force of a mob-protest; an outcry from anonymous throats. It is the only war-book I have read which has found a new form to fit the novelty of the protest. The prose is bare, lucid, without literary echoes, not an imitation but a development -- Graham Greene An extraordinary, powerful image and an extraordinary, powerful piece of writing... it captures a truth about war that evades whole histories. Now that no one is left who can remember, we need books such as Company K all the more to force those of us left behind not to forget' * Daily Telegraph * Blunt, impartial and candid, Company K is about a group of men, yet it is also about all men, who fight in all wars. It is essential reading * Irish Times *
