Item description from seller

First Printing. Publisher's pale green wraps, titled and decorated in black to spine and front board, with a reproduction of the author's USMC telegram notifying his parents of him taking a shrapnel wound to the stomach to the rear wrap.

This is the first appearance of "A Few Good Men", a series of short, vicious little war stories that are amongst the clearest invocations of the prevalent lunacy present in the canon. It was eventually reprinted in a book form in 1978 by Morrow/Avon, this first appearance seems elusive, especially signed.…
