The book is about the story of a man who has lost a grip on reality (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-PTSD) after World War II. Rapidly jumping from moments in the war to present day, our main charecter has found unhappiness in life because he experienced so much horror as a child (age 18). The book does not glorify war so taht many young men won't be inspired to fight in the war and live a more fulfilling life.
