No Time for Sergeants and Other Military Plays: An Armed Forces–themed Triad of Comedy, Tragedy, and Drama; No Time for Sergeants; General Seeger; Notebook Warrior

For the first time in one volume, here is the complete triad of military plays from Ira Levin, creator of such iconic classics as Rosemary's Baby, The Boys from Brazil, and Deathtrap. Featuring informative new introductions from the author's son, Nicholas Levin. Drafted into the United States Army just before his first novel could be published, Ira Levin tapped into that experience to craft a trio of armed forces-themed works that run the gamut from madcap comedy to searing drama. Notebook Warrior Levin translated his time as a conscript in the army's Signal Corps into this earnest tale of a young violinist whose studies are brought to a halt by the draft. Twice presented on television during TV's original "Golden Age," Notebook Warrior is presented here for the first time ever in print. No Time For Sergeants One of the most popular--and laughter-inducing--military comedies ever to grace the stage, No Time For Sergeants introduced Andy Griffith to the world, and helped propel down-home entertainment into the cultural mainstream. General Seeger A Greek tragedy in khaki. Did Major General William J. Seeger's son die a rightful hero--or is the life Seeger's built for himself blind to the larger truths that surround it? Over the course of a single sun-streaked day, he'll conduct his own personal inquest to uncover the truth.
