Sobre este artículo
London: Heinemann, 1955. First edition, first printing. Published by Heinemann in London, 1955. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is so slightly toned to the front and rear panels, with some mild handling marks to the rear panel. The top of the flaps are also clean. It has not been price clipped and shows the original 13s 6d net price. It is free from previous owners ink. The boards are tight. The gilt titling is in tact and generally bright. Overall, this is a near fine copy. Narrated in the first person by journalist Thomas Fowler, the novel depicts the breakdown of French colonialism in Vietnam and early American involvement in the Vietnam War.
