Author: James Gould Cozzens Title: Guard of Honor Genre: Fiction, Historical, Literature Publisher: Modern Library; Random House Identifier: 9780679603054, 0679603050 Grade: retail Length: 555 pages Listing: Award- Pulitzer Prize for Fiction () Hardcover, 614 pages Published: 1948 Edition: Modern Library (1998) Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1949) James Gould Cozzen, 1903-1978 James Gould Cozzen's Guard of Honor 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 Cozzen's canvas. Guard of Honor is a neglected masterpiece that stands comparison with the greatest novels of the Second World War--essayist Noel Perrin deemed it "probably the best war novel of the twentieth century." "No other American novelist of our time writes with such profound understanding of the wellsprings of human character and of the social pressures that help to form it," said Orville Prescott in The New York Times.
