Calls for reprinting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The lieutenant: A novel (Paperback)
The book is a page-turner and a must read for old sailors and Marines. On every large ship you'll find the bullies and the bullied Dubus so eloquently describes in these pages. The book deserves to be reissued, especially in light of recent controversies concerning gays in the military.

By A Customer
This review is from: The lieutenant: A novel (Paperback)
Within its peacetime military genre, this novel tells the truth about the young Marine Corps officer's life. He's under a senior Navy officer's command on an aircraft carrier stationed off Japan, when some enlisted men act pranks that can suggest homosexual associations. The Lieutenant is held responsible, as he remembers why he came to the Corps and what it means to him. Dubus has written many more successful books since this one, but this suggests some of his major themes.
