Return
of the Brute “The
author’s skill as a storyteller is at times breathtaking…” In the trenches of World War I, nine very different men are trying to survive… The bombing squad of No. 2 Platoon are the dregs of the army, the toughest of the tough. But even they cannot endure forever the nightmare of war. Corporal Williams’s authority is being strained past its limits by his men’s wretchedness, terror and exhaustion. Fragile Lamont, too sensitive for the inhumanity of the front, is plotting a way to escape. And the Brute which the war has unleashed is tearing Gunn apart from within… A classic novel of the stark horror of war and the darkness that lurks within the human spirit, by one of Ireland’s master storytellers, who himself fought in the trenches.
