(NY), Delacorte/Seymour Lawrence, (1973). His first book, a highly praised memoir of the Vietnam war in which O'Brien uses some of the techniques of fiction to convey the experience of Vietnam from the grunt's perspective with immediacy and power. Signed by the author. Fine in a fine dust jacket. The book has none of the fading to the extremities of the boards that is typical of this title. One of the nicest copies we've seen, if not the nicest. [#911094] SOLD
