About This Item
London, UK: Barrie & Jenkins, 1974. 1st Edition 1st Impression. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First edition, first printing. 188pp. In blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Boards gently rounded at corners and spine ends. Bookseller's stamp on front free endpaper, else internally fresh and crisp throughout. In its original dust jacket, a little bumped along upper edge and rubbed on corners, with remnants of sticky label on front. Dust jacket now protected in a new, archival-quality Mylar wrapper, fitted without the use of tape of adhesives. A much overlooked war novel of distinction. Tom Wilkins is an ordinary man and so are the others around him, advancing under fire from the unseen enemy; in flashback White puts together the mosaic of his life, the pattern that culminates in far from ordinary deeds.
