New York:: Delacorte Press / Seymour Lawrence,, (1978). Hardcover -. Near fine in teal cloth in a very good dust jacket (price-clipped, some short edge tears).. 2nd printing. The author's third novel, considered one of the best ever written about the war in Vietnam and how it affected the men who fought there. "Winner of the 1979 National Book Award, 'Going After Cacciato' captures the peculiar blend of horror and hallucinatory comedy that marked this the strangest of wars. Reality and fantasy merge in this fictional account of one private's sudden discussion to lay down his rifle and begin a quixotic journey from the of Indochina to the streets of Paris. Will Cacciato make it all the way? Or will he be yet another casualty of a conflict that seems to have no end?

Description:
New York:: SOHO Press,, (1999). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. A brief, but highly praised, novel about the Vietman war by an author who was a Special Forces Sergeant in Vietnam at Plei Me in Vietnam's Central Highlands and later at Pleiku (where this novel is set) in 1964 and 1965. "Sergeant Dickinson is the radioman of a Special Forces A-Team in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The camp is encircled and attacked for nine days by the North Vietnamese Army, anxious to lure larger American units into combat for the first time. Dickinson survives, just. The remnants of the team are broken up, the soldiers scattered among other commands. A unit that battered, goes the thinking, can't be put back together." This book was originally published in 1985 in somewhat different form under the title, "The Negligence of Death". SIGNED on the title page. 184 pp.
