James Jones

Novelist, born in Robinson, Illinois, USA. He studied at the University of Hawaii, then served in the US army as a sergeant (1939–44), boxed as a welterweight in Golden Gloves tournaments, and was awarded a Purple Heart. His wartime experience in Hawaii led to From Here to Eternity (1951), a classic war novel for which he received a National Book Award. Later work was disappointing, with the exception of The Thin Red Line (1962).
