Title: A book for those who have forgotten the pleasure of reading
Review: I had the good fortune to see the film Caine Mutiny recently. Word of Honor has often been compared to this seminal work and while it is easy to see where such comparison arises I personally found Word of Honor to be better! Unlike Caine Mutiny, I found myself feeling a degee of empathy for all the characters in De Mille's book. Also, the author is highly insightful with regard to human nature and the way we DO respond to situations rather than the way we would like to respond. Combine this with a sharp wit and blistering narrative and you have without doubt one of the best books of the last decade.
