Fifitieth Anniversary Edition With a new introduction by Norman Mailer

‘The best war novel to come out of the United States.’ The Times

Norman Mailer’s first novel. The book that catapulted him to instant fame.

A modern classic, on every American Literature student’s reading list.

Based on Mailer’s own experience of military service in the Philippines during World War Two, The Naked and the Dead is a graphically truthful and shattering portrayal of ordinary men in battle. First published in 1949, as America was still basking in the glories of the Allied victory, it altered forever the popular perception of warfare.

Review:

‘Mailer recorded every foul thought and word of his characters, wrote about ignorant, savage, primitive men. For maturity of viewpoint, for technical competence, and for stark dramatic power, The Naked and the Dead is an incredibly finished performance.’
New York Times

From the Back Cover:

'The Naked and the Dead' traces the story of a platoon of young American soldiers as they pick their way, through treacherous terrain, across the Japanese-held Pacific island of Anopopei. Caught up in the confusion of close-armed combat, preyed upon by snipers, the men are pushed to the limit of human endurance. Held together only by the raw will to survive and barely sustained dreams of life beyond the maelstrom, each man finds his innermost hopes and deepest fears laid bare by the unrelenting stress of battle.

In his early twenties Mailer was himself a Second World War combatant in the Far-Eastern theatre. Published three years after the war ended, 'The Naked and the Dead', a shattering masterpiece of nightmarish realism, catapulted Mailer to instant fame.

“The best war novel to come out of the United States.”
THE TIMES

“Mailer writes like an angel – a master of small surprises that are precursors of seismic shocks.”
LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS

“Mailer recorded every foul thought and word of his characters, wrote about ignorant, savage, primitive men... For maturity of viewpoint, for technical competence, and for stark dramatic power, 'The Naked and the Dead' is an incredibly finished performance.”
NEW YORK TIMES

“Besides being the most unpredictable novelist in the USA, he is also its most consistently interesting.”
VOGUE

“Mailer is a genuine original, working against the grain of the rest of his contemporaries.”
NEW STATESMAN

“Mailer remains America’s most talented writer.”
NEWSWEEK
