Semper Fi – Jim Webb January 1979.” Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Hal Siegel. From the collection of Roger Craig Patton with his bookplate to the front pastedown. An exceptional example.
"A novel of such fullness and impact, one is tempted to compare it to Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead" (The Oregonian). “Few writers since Stephen Crane have portrayed men at war with such a ring of steely truth" (The Houston Post).
