is based on author Thomas Alexander Boyd鈥檚 personal experiences as an enlisted Marine. First published in 1925 and long out of print, this edition rescues from obscurity a vivid, kaleidoscopic vision of American soldiers, US Marines mostly, serving in a global conflict a century ago. It is a true forgotten masterpiece of World War I literature. Reissued in the series in a new edition with notes and introduction by Steven Trout, this work can now reach a new audience.

鈥淭homas Boyd is famous for the novel Through the Wheat, now enshrined as a World War I classic. In Points of Honor, through a set of interlocking narratives, he pulls off something of a short story version of William March鈥檚 Company K. A clear and interesting introduction by Steven Trout, pegged for the literate general reader, makes a strong case for the stories as something of an advance over Through the Wheat. Here the characters and situations are diverse, and the modes of narration and development are strikingly varied.鈥�

Stephen C. Murray's 2016 was the first book in the series. It is a study of public memory, and the ways three peoples swept up in conflict struggle to create a common understanding of the tragedy they share. Listen to Stephen C. Murray talk about the book on the . 

 

"Stephen Murray has written a remarkably sensitive, insightful, and compassionate book about a war that continues. While Japanese forces surrendered the island of Peleliu in what is now the Republic of Palau to American invaders on 24 November 1944, the battle goes on around issues of memory, commemoration, and the meaning of history. To his great credit, Stephen Murray has done much to redress the imbalance and injustice."
