Ford Madox Ford''s 1915 novel The Good Soldier has established itself as a masterpiece of literary modernism, taking its place alongside Ulysses and The Waste Land as a groundbreaking experimental work.

Martin or Matthew Ford (b.ca.1661) immigrated from England (though some records indicate he came from France) to Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, and later settled in Bradford, Essex County. He married Lydia Griffen in 1684. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York and elsewhere.

This is the novel that inspired the acclaimed Burt Lancaster movie, Go Tell the Spartans. The year is 1964--early days in South Vietnam--and the U.S. Army Raiders have garrisoned a town that the French abandoned ten years before. The Viet Cong attack, and the Americans reinforce. They''re not about to repeat the mistakes of the French! ''Sad, bawdy, and compelling,'' wrote the Detroit Free Press. Prophetic, too, of how the larger war would end.
