Publisher's Synopsis
Drafted into the United States Army just before his first novel could be published, Ira Levin (creator of Rosemary's Baby, The Boys from Brazil, and Deathtrap) drew from that time in the military to craft a trio of armed forces-themed plays which run the gamut from madcap comedy to searing drama.
Presented for the first time in one volume, and featuring a new introduction to each work by the author's son Nicholas Levin, here is Levin's complete trilogy of military works.
No Time For Sergeants
One of the most popular--and hilarious--military comedies ever to grace the stage, No Time For Sergeants (adapted by Levin from the novel by Mac Hyman) introduced Andy Griffith to the world, and helped propel down-home entertainment into the cultural mainstream.
General Seeger
Greek tragedy in khaki. On a day intended to honor his fallen hero son, lifetime Army man General Seeger's beliefs about him--and himself--are put to the test.
Notebook Warrior
Showcased twice during 1950s television's Golden Age and appearing here for the first time in print, a young violinist bristles at life as a new draftee.
