During World War II, Norman Mailer (1923-2007) served with the 112th Cavalry in the Philippines. Though he saw limited combat, his experiences provided more than enough material for The Naked and the Dead (1948), his first and most popular novel. Considered among the best American war novels ever written, it has been ranked by the Modern Library as one of the hundred best English-language novels. In 1958, Raoul Walsh directed the film version starring Cliff Robertson and Aldo Ray.
