NY, Viking, 1934, first edition.. Although the first preliminary indicates this is one of 750 specially bound (advance) copies, it is actually one of only 32 copies specially bound for the staff of The Viking Press, noted by a tipped in insert, this novel tells the story of a group of Armenians who resisted their slaughter by the Turks on a mountain called Musa Dagh, Moses's Mountain, this systematic slaughter, the first holocaust of the 20th Century, was perpetrated by the Turkish government which ordered the killings and mass, forced deportations, 1.5 million of the 3 million Armenians living in Turkey were killed on these orders of the Turkish government in 1915, this is the only "staff" copies seen by this bookseller in his 39 years of professional bookselling, issued without a dust jacket according to a postcard from the bookseller from whom this copy was purchased. Very good.
