Book Description
NY: George Braziller. (1971). The author's first book, a classic of the war, describing a year in the life of a doctor stationed in Japan who saw some of the most badly injured of the wounded victims of Vietnam who survived: most who made it to Japan had injuries too serious to be treated in-country in Vietnam. Glasser recounts his own experiences as well as his patients' and a number are absolutely heartrending: they remind the reader that the typical soldiers over there were teenagers, with no real idea of what they had gotten themselves into. In a controversial case in Maine, this book was banned by a school district, ostensibly for profanity but more likely for the grimly negative portrayal of the war it presents. Top edge foxed; stain to front flyleaf; about near fine in a very good dust jacket. . First Edition. Hardcover.
