Synopsis
Sand in the Wind is an accurate, vivid, all too real novel about thirteen months in the lives of a handful of men-and two in particular-who find themselves caught up in a senseless war they don't understand and can't really win. Pitted against an invisible and sadistic enemy, Lieutenant Kramer and Corporal Chalice are confronted by their own fears, confusion, and uncertainty as they fight not only to stay alive, but to stay human.
In the earthy, uninhibited language of the GI, the author describes the men, the battles, and the stark inhumanities of combat. There is barbarism; there is cannibalism; there is madness, and death; drugs, and brutality; and the fleeting gratification of instant sex. And with it all there is a savage humor laced with compassion.
How Kramer and Chalice and the others come to terms with their shattered ideals, how they live, how they die, and how it affects the rest of us is what this important and dramatic book is about.
