Hardcover. First Edition. Near Fine in a Fine dustjacket. Gold boards quarterbound in green cloth. The spine is gilt-stamped. 245pps. There is a small, 1/8" soil-mark near the bottom of the fore-edge, otherwise flawless: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is very lightly rubbed; no chips, soiling, or tears. The original price is intact. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on the title-page. This is the first printing of the 1994 re-issue (originally published in 1985 by Knopf). "Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Olen Butler's masterful fourth novel, On Distant Ground, is the vivid, compelling story of an American soldier's desperate, and private, mission to Saigon in the final days of the Vietnam War. It is the spring of 1975. David Fleming, an Army intelligence captain, is about to be court-martialed for having kidnapped and set free a Viet Cong officer. As the trial forces David to consider his own baffling concern for the prisoner (since he cannot explain it to himself, how can he ever hope to satisfy the judge?), it also prompts memories of a brief affair he had with an aristocratic Vietnamese woman named Suong -- an affair that she abruptly and inexplicably ended." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. X03-E. SIGNED by the Author. Seller Inventory # 103-2077
