Wonderful and significant signed copy of this acknowledged classic -- perhaps the greatest work of fiction related to the Vietnam War. On the title page, O'Brien writes, "This book is not only about the war -- it's about man's capacity for love, even in the midst of horror." A powerful and moving inscription in a near-perfect copy of a 1st edition, 1st printing. Doesn't get much better than this.
