Very fine copy of this seminal work on the experience of fighting men in the Vietnam War. No dust jacket."Highly critical of how the Americans were fighting this war, but unlike most of the gibberish propaganda acknowledging the horrors of Communism (and the third world, as well as some spicy criticism of American consumerism and the blithe oblivion of first world democracies), this book looks into how warriors must get past the fog of human illusions to act effectively in the field, and how this makes them incompatible with how not just civilian society but human social systems work." (Brett Stevens, Goodreads reviewer)

A somewhat weathered copy of a 1950s classic. No dust jacket. Tight binding, off-white pages.This book is as wide as the world, confronting the eternal questions of virtue, truth, self-worth, love, envy and their opposites. The setting is early 19th century Kentucky as it faced the closing frontier, but in some sense the setting is immaterial. The overriding question is the value of a life and the meaning of virtue. Robert Penn Warren is an under-appreciated titan of American literature, who wrote across various fictional forms, most beautifully in his poetry. This novel is dense with beautiful phrasing and dark portrayals . . .It wore me out, but I'm glad I read it.(Steve Sanderson, Goodreads reviewer)
