Paperback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Boomerang! (Infantry Journal, Fighting Forces Series, 1945) is one of the more unusual entries in the series because - unlike the tactical studies such as Bastogne or Iwo Jima - it is a narrative-driven, morale-building wartime book. The book contains TWO stories; Boomerang & Baby Strikes Back: Boomerang is a combat-experience novel built around a series of frontline episodes rather than a single continuous quest plot. Set in the Pacific Theater, the story follows American infantrymen confronting how small tactical decisions, shortcuts, and acts of arrogance rebound on their unit - sometimes immediately, sometimes fatally later. The title refers to the central idea: What you throw out in combat-bad judgment, cruelty, carelessness - comes back. Rather than heroic triumph, the book emphasizes: Misused weapons, Poor discipline, Misjudging terrain or the enemy, Psychological strain on ordinary soldiers. The narrative voice is plain, pragmatic, and GI-level, closely aligned with Infantry Journal's mission: fiction that teaches without lecturing. Major Themes Include: Unintended consequences of combat decisions, Irony of battlefield "cleverness," Experience over theory, Combat realism vs. propaganda, Survival as professionalism, not heroics. Boomerang sits halfway between instructional fiction and hard-boiled war realism, closer in spirit to They Were Expendable or later Vietnam-era cautionary war novels than to triumphalist WWII fiction. The Second Novel, Baby Strikes Back, is more character-driven than Boomerang. The story centers on a soldier nicknamed "Baby"?initially underestimated due to youth, appearance, or perceived softness?who is shaped by combat into a decisive and dangerous infantryman. The novel follows Baby through: Early marginalization within his unit, Exposure to brutal jungle warfare, A turning point involving loss, humiliation, or betrayal, A final assertion of competence, authority, or lethal resolve, Unlike classic revenge fiction, Baby's "strike back" is not melodramatic; it is professional, controlled, and earned through experience rather than rage. The book reflects a post-1945 shift in war writing, where victory is assumed and the real subject becomes what war does to the men who fight it. THIS book is in very good shape with clean pages, and just some minor cover damage. Paperback edition. 153 pages. Dimensions: 4.25" by 6.25".
