Trkači olovnih nogu 1-3

James Jones

A war novel that follows American soldiers on the Pacific battlefield during World War II, focusing on their struggle to survive and preserve humanity in the chaos of war. Set on the fictional island of Guadalcanal, the novel has elements of autobiography

The main characters are members of Charlie Company's infantry platoon, including Sergeant Welsh, a cynical leader obsessed with survival, and Private Witti, a rebel searching for meaning in the madness of war. Through their eyes, we see brutal battles against Japanese forces, grueling jungle conditions, and internal conflicts within the unit. Jones, a war veteran, delivers an authentic account of military life - from hunger and exhaustion to moments of unexpected heroism and solidarity.

The novel stands out for its naturalistic style, with detailed descriptions of combat and psychological portraits of the soldiers. Through fragmented narrative, Jones reveals the characters' pasts, showing how the war changes their ideals and relationships. Conflicts between the soldiers and their superiors, such as the ambitious Captain Bugger, highlight themes of power and corruption. The title symbolizes the weight of war that slows people down, physically and emotionally.

The Leadfoot Runners is appreciated for its raw honesty and profound depiction of the realities of war, making the novel a powerful testimony to the sacrifices and moral dilemmas of soldiers in extreme conditions.
