Col. Wilbur "Bull" Meecham calls himself "The Great Santini". He runs his family with a strict hand. In 1962 before the Vietnam War, the Meecham family struggles to fit into the Marine town of Beaufort, South Carolina where they are newcomers. Conroy makes the point that Santini is a warrior without a war, and in turn is at war alternately with the service that he loves and his family. The novel explores main character Ben Meecham's growth into manhood, his experiences playing basketball for his high school, as well as his friendships with a Jewish classmate and an African-American farmer. The novel exposes the love-hate relationship between Ben and his father, and the lengths Ben goes to in an effort to win his father's acceptance and love. Film adaptationThe novel was made into a film of the same name in 1979, starring Robert Duvall in the title role.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9D05E3D61638F937A25754C0A966948260|work=The New York Times|title=The Great Santini (1979) THE GREAT SANTINI|authorlink=Vincent Canby|author=Canby, Vincent|date=July 14, 1980}} {{Pat Conroy}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Great Santini, The}}{{1970s-novel-stub}} 8 : 1976 American novels|American autobiographical novels|American novels adapted into films|Books by Pat Conroy|English-language novels|Novels about the United States Marine Corps|Novels set in South Carolina|Random House books |
