About this listen

James Jones brings powerful emotion and expression to his reading of the famous passage from his celebrated World War II novel in which Private Prewitt plays a version of Taps that expresses "the requiem of the common soldier".

"Each listening experience is a delight." (Playboy)
"The pages come alive." (The New York Times, Thomas Lask)
