Printing Details
First US edition. Hardback, bound in the original green cloth with printed red titling to spine and upper board. 19.5 × 12.5cm, 300pp.
Squad is a war chronicle of an American eight man squad at the Front during the First World War, and the adventures they have. It is based loosely on the author's experiences with the 11th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division. This novel is highly regarded for the detail it provides on the American infantry during the Great War.
The publishers, Coward McCann, were founded in 1928, so this is one of their earliest titles.
