During World War II, William Golding served in the Royal Navy, where he held various duties, including commanding a landing craft during the D-Day invasion. His experiences in the war deeply influenced his writing, particularly his views on human nature and civilization, which are reflected in his most famous work, "Lord of the Flies." Golding's service exposed him to the brutality of conflict, shaping his perspective on the darker aspects of humanity.
