  • "Chronicles events at an Army Air Force base in Florida during three days in September 1943."@en
  • "On a Florida Air Base over a three day period in September 1943, Cozzens brings into sharp relief against the background of boredom, frustration and disappointment which most of the officers assigned there feel, the little dramas of human lives, loves, hates, jealousies; the competitive spirit leveled at minor goals; the interrelation of men, whose ranks are more or less the accident of the chance of war."
  • "The novel balances a vast cast of intricately enmeshed characters as they react over the course of three tense days in September 1943 to a racial incident on a U.S. Army airbase in Florida. The reader is acutely aware of the war raging abroad and the effect it has had, or will have, on the multitude of servicemen who populate Cozzens's immense canvas."
