Irwin Shaw’s 1936 masterpiece is an incendiary indictment of war. On a battlefield in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night, six dead soldiers killed in action inexplicably stand up and refuse to be buried in their graves. The response from the military, the public and the soldiers’ families is by turns horrific and heartbreaking.
