A Bell for Adano

A Bell for Adano by John Hersey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a story about the absurdities of the military and of war and how one man is trying to do some good despite these things. The book is beautifully written--even the ugly parts--clear and specific but with the underlying truth of things there as well.  Some of it is quite funny and some quite sad. Overall it is well worth reading.

This book is on my Classics Club List.
