Red paper over boards with black cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine and front board. 311 pp 8vo. This is the first publication of a powerful and compelling story hitherto untold in the annals of the Vietnam War: the first major account of the complex and unique experience of black soldiers, at their best and their worst, in the most controversial war in American history. This book is a self-portrait of twenty black veterans from poorly educated lower-class families, who shouldered a disproportionate share of the burden of America's tragedy in Indochina. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
