About this title

Synopsis:

Retooling his second novel considerably, the acclaimed novelist retells his classic tale of the lives of a squadron of Air Force pilots in occupied France during wartime, rewriting entire sections of the original novel.

About the Author:

James Salter has been described as the writer most admired by other writers. As Washington Post critic Michael Dirda wrote, "He can, when he wants, break your heart with a sentence." At one time a regular officer and a fighter pilot during the Korean conflict, Salter ended his military career to become a writer in 1957. He is the author of five novels, including the highly acclaimed A Sport and a Pastime and Light Years. His collection of short fiction, Dusk and Other Stories, was awarded the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1988. Salter's memoir, Burning the Days, was published to great acclaim in 1997, as was the revised edition of his first novel, The Hunters.
