Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author examines themes of military culture, the education of young men, the cult of masculinity, and the pursuit of heroism. The author achieves this by telling the story of Sam Jinks, a naive young man from a farming family who joins the military in pursuit of glory and heroism. The book uses the experiences of Sam to discuss the ways in which military life can corrupt and damage young men, particularly in their adolescence and early adulthood. The novel also tells the story of America's fascination with heroism and the ways in which this fascination can lead to violence and destruction.
