[publisher: Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1987. dj] Hardcover First Printing and twice inscribed.
The author's first novel, an account of the Vietnam War which has become a modern classic. "Hanson joins the Green Berets fresh out of college. Carrying a volume of Yeatss poems in his uniform pocket, he has no idea of what he's about to face in Vietnam from the enemy, from his fellow soldiers, or within himself. In vivid, nightmarish, and finely etched prose, Kent Anderson takes us through Hanson's two tours of duty and a bitter, ill-fated return to civilian life in-between, capturing the day-to-day process of war like no writer before or since."
One of the better novels written about the Vietnam war (ex: In Country, Meditations in Green, First Blood etc...)
First novel of a gifted writer.
