Step into the powerhouse life of Bull Meecham. Hes all Marine --- fighter pilot, king of the clouds, and absolute ruler of his family. Lillian is his wife -- beautiful, southern-bred, with a core of velvet steel. Without her cool head, her kids would be in real trouble. Ben is the oldest, a born athlete whose best never satisfies the big man. Bens got to stand up, even fight back, against a father who doesnt give in -- not to his men, not to his wife, and certainly not to his son. Bull Meecham is undoubtedly Pat Conroy's most explosive character -- a man you should hate, but a man you will love.

"...Pat Conroy seems to be writing his autobiography...As a result, the book is an unadulterated, realistic view of a military family ruled by an authoritarian father...A fine, sensitive novel..."

James N. Hutchins, Best Sellers, 09/1976

"The strength of 'The Great Santini'...is its realism...A good novel and enjoyable reading, though the descriptive writing is somewhat juvenile."

Col. Donald Conroy (author's father)
