Sobre este artículo
San Francisco: Ramparts Press, 1972. First Edition. 8vo. 21.5cm x 14.5cm. Publisher's black cloth boards. Dustjacket. Titled in red to spine, clean and solid, in a bright example of the priceclipped photgraphic dustjacket, with some marginal edgewear and scuffing, fraying to the spine ends, and a couple of small nicks to the spine panel. 282pp. Internally clean. Inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf, with a drawing of a woman and what I think are supposed to represent trees:
"To Al, A Real Pal, A Swell Gal, Who Is Leaving Cal, For Or Re Gone, Love Rich."
A very upbeat inscription to what is a rather harrowing attempt by a returned US serviceman to make sense of the situation in Vietnam; the political motivations, the plight of the Vietnamese, the plight of the US serving men, and the atrocities committed en masse for reasons that made no particular sense then, and make even less now.
