The story of a PT skipper hospitalized in Australia. Bitter and lost, it became evident that it was up to himself whether he was returned to combat or to the US. Dr. Schwartz, the psychiatrist, helped; but the thing that really enabled him to come to grips with himself, to relax the coil of tension in which he had become involved-and to return to his last inevitable clash with the Japanese-was his love affair with Nora, the Australian barmaid. Their love story, frankly and yet tenderly told, is one of the most moving in contemporary fiction. (#00001599)
