War Book
(Fairfax), (Red Hill Press), [c. 1970]. Vietnam War-era antiwar chapbook, with text excerpted from various sources -- some historical accounts, a field report, a small arms training manual, a Wilfred Owen poem, one contemporary poem -- and illustrations, mostly by Cynthia Steinberg, mostly depicting the costs of war. Vietnam is nowhere mentioned, although one of the text excerpts is "from a presidential remark about Moratorium Day: Under no circumstances will I be affected by what you do or say." Moratorium Day was in October, 1969, followed by a march on Washington, D.C., in November, where Nixon made the quoted remark. Modest foxing to covers and staples rusted; near fine in stapled wrappers. Uncommon. [#030866] SOLD
