About the Book

A thousand miles from the nearest war zone�in a foreign country call the U.S. Marine Corps, a few good men are finding out what living hell is all about. The place: Parris Island, S.C. The time: basic training. For Tom Adamczyk and Joe Waite--two of the seventy raw recruits of Platoon 197--it�s a bizarre and violent journey into degradation, fear, and confusion under the onslaught of drill instructor Sgt. Maguire. Maguire is out to turn lowly maggots into Marines�and he'll use any means he can. But when Maguire crosses the line between cruelty and sadism, and an official investigation is launched, each man is forced to make a choice between the truth and a lie. And for Adamczyk and Waite the choice will shape the rest of their lives--not as maggots, or Marines, but as men. "When it comes to novels written about boot camp life in the United States military, nothing compares to Robert Flanagan's revealing and wonderfully written classic, Maggot." -Donald Ray Pollock

About the Author :
Robert Flanagan is the son of a WWI Marine combat vet who fought at Belleau Wood, Ch�teau-Thierry and Soissons. Born in Toledo, Ohio, he worked as a dishwasher, night watchman and janitor there, served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, and graduated from the Universities of Toledo and Chicago. He is a produced playwright, poet, as well as the author of four books of fiction. A lifelong boxing fan, he earned his detached retinas sparring in local gyms. His forthcoming novel Champions is set in Toledo�s hard luck world of boxers and comics. He taught at Ohio Wesleyan University and lives with wife Katie in Delaware, Ohio.

Review :
The authentic, blockbuster novel of Marine Corps basic training. Parris Island will make a man of you or break you totally, many have suggested. Flanagan tells the story of the varying shades of possibility in between. These are real people in the hands of this author. -PUBLISHER�S WEEKLY A strong and well-written novel about Marine Corps basic training. -WASHINGTON POST MAGGOT is a great book, full of anger and power and humor and heart. -RON HANSEN
