Generals Die in Bed is a first-hand account of one young man catapulted from new recruit to walking wounded on the Western Front. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom day one, he is surrounded by mud and fear. Artillery whistles down without warning. Boys, barely men, cry out for their mothers. Close combat is worse: sudden frenzied scrambles with German soldiers, and bayonets that don't come out smoothly from their victims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRegular rotation takes them away from the front, and the weary combatants scramble for wine, women or whatever else will help them forget they'll have to go back. This harrowing spiral continues until an ill-fated hill charge leads to a gushing leg wound and release papers home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new introduction to this edition places Harrison's novel alongside its literary contemporaries -- All Quiet on the Western Front and A Farewell to Arms. Originally published in 1930 and acclaimed as \"the best of the war books\" by the New York Evening Standard, Generals Die in Bed remains an unforgettable book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Annick Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554510740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.11h x 8.34w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e58565 \/ Generals Die in Bed: A Story from the Trenches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Charles Yale Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659564904604,"sku":"9781554510740","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4c61b0d9-56a5-42dc-8c76-6d888072f4cd.jpg?v=1603895064","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/generals-die-in-bed-9781554510740","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
