Whistle (1978), a novel by James Jones, tells the story of four wounded South Pacific veterans brought back by hospital ship to the United States during World War II.

Whistle forms the third part of a war trilogy, after From Here to Eternity (1951) and The Thin Red Line (1962).

Jones presented the characters of Mart Winch, Bobby Prell, Marion Landers, and Johnny Strange as Welsh, Witt, Fife, and Storm in The Thin Red Line.

The final three chapters were completed by Willie Morris based on taped conversations with the author and extensive notes he had already written.

"[4] In a 1978 review in The New York Times, John Aldridge wrote; "it is perhaps testimony Mr. Morris”s skill at synopsis or to Jones's deficiencies as a writer of recognizable style that one can scarcely tell where the original text ends and the synopsis begins.
