    the Metallica song For Whom the Bell Tolls is based mostly on Chapter 27 in Hemingway's novel, where El Sordo and his men are killed in an air attack on the hill they were defending, with allusions to the final chapter where Jordon is lying wounded, awaiting the Fascists, and is contemplating his death.

    Have to add:

    Jones’ From Here to Eternity

    Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny
