Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. This is a review copy with promotional material laid-in. This is an exceptionally clean, fresh and nice first printing. Price intact on dust jacket, as necessary for a collectible book. The setting: an army base in Vietnam, 1970 (where the author served as an intelligence officer). The characters: misdirected enlisted men, inept American officers, and victimized South Vietnamese. Political cartoonist and columnist Danziger (Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times syndicate) develops his characters and subplots in this first novel with wit and skill akin to Kurt Vonnegut or Joseph Heller. Scenarios play off each other in simultaneously hilarious and sobering moments as we witness the development of an unlikely postwar Saigon real estate investment scheme or a failed night-flying mission in which the taped howling of a North Vietnamese soldier's ghost broadcast from a plane is supposed to scare the Vietcong into surrender. A "masterpiece" of Vietnam fiction. Seller Inventory # 000417
