Rezension zu „The Naked and the Dead “
'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 'The best war novel to come out of the United States.' The Times 'Brutal, agonising, astonishingly thoughtful.' Newsweek
