'I'll never understand the fucking Army.' Prew won't conform. He
could have been the best boxer and the best bugler in his division,
but he chooses the life of a straight soldier in Hawaii under the
fierce tutelage of Sergeant Milt Warden. When he refuses to box for
his company for mysterious reasons, he is given 'The Treatment', a
relentless campaign of physical and mental abuse. Meanwhile, Warden
wages his own campaign against authority by seducing the Captain's
wife Karen - just because he can. Both men are bound to the Army,
even though it may destroy them. Published here in its uncensored,
original version, From Here to Eternity is a raw, electrifying
account of the soldier's life in the months leading up to Pearl
Harbor-of men who are trained to fight the enemy, but cannot resist
fighting each other.
