Item description from seller

Octavo, xi, [1], 547pp, xiii. Rust orange cloth, spine in blue, title stamped in gilt on spine and blind stamped on cover. Top edge dyed red. Stated "First Edition" on copyright page. Complete with three maps. Light wear to cloth boards, foxing to endpapers. In the publisher's first state dust jacket, $6.75 retail price on front flap, light sunning to spine, shallow chipping and wear along edges, an overall very good example.

She is also dramatized on screen as "Ah Cheu" in the 1977 film MacArthur.…
