Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st printing. [nice as-new copy, but for slight fading along spine; no discernible wear, appears unread]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) "Here, in his own words, is Hammett the family man, distant but devoted, late with the check but never too late; Hammett the student of political affairs, scanning…the headlines from a Marxist perspective; Hammett the lover of Lillian Hellman, delighting in her style, her humor, and her accomplishments, yet always maintaining his life apart from hers." The letters were gathered mostly from private collections, and most were previously unpublished. Illustrated by (cover design) Wesley B. Tanner / Passim Editions (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition olive boards, red cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Quote by Paul Valery, Journals; and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-…white drawings and a black-and-white double page map frontispiece. "An edgy, street-talking trip into the often inane realities of 'high-tech' contemporary warfare. Turnipseed gives us an invaluable tale of war as it is, reckless and semi-insane. Americans, in our perilous times, should be paying attention - reading this book, this vivid story about getting to the far side of triumph." - William Kittredge, author. "A deeply felt account of an exile's passage across the back office landscape of modern war. Turnipseed is a lucid, passionate, and oddball observer with an extraordinary ear for vernacular speech and a deft and understated prose style. His book is the best dispatch so far from the Middle Ease desert battleground." - Alex Wilkinson, author. "This is a wonderfully timely book. well-written, very up to date, and in many ways an amazing tour de force." - Robert Bly, author. "This is the rarest of war memoirs - an account of the unglamorous, written with laugh-out-loud dialogue, that also reminds us why philosophy matters. Turnipseed has rubbed the jewelry of our philosophic heritage across the touchstone of war and shown which proves true gold and which a shining fraud. He and his Marine comrades in Desert Storm, black and white, dererve our honor and thanks." - Jonathan Shay, author. "In early sumer of 1990, Joel Turnipseed was homeless - kicked out of his college's philosophy program, dumped by his girlfriend. He had been AWOL from his Marine Corps Reserve unit for more than three months, spending his days hanging out in coffee shops reading Plato and Thoreau. Then Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Turnipseed's unit was activated for service in Operation Desert Shield. By January of 1991, he was in Saudi Arabia driving tractor-trailers for the Sixth Motor Transport Battalion - the legendary "Baghdad Express." The greatest logistical operation in Marine Corps history, the Baghdad Express hauled truckloads of explosives and ammunition across hundreds of miles of desert. Armed with an M-16 and a seabag full of philosophy books, he is a wise-ass misfit, an ironic observer with a keen eye for vivid detail, a rebellious Marine alive to the moral ambiguity of his life and his situation. This innovative memoir - simultaneously terrifying and hilarious, equal parts Catch-22 and Catcher in the Rye - explores both the absurdities of war and the necessity of accepting our flawed world of shadows. With expansive humanity and profane grace, Turnipseed finds the real-world answers to his philosophical questions and reaches the hardest peace for any young man to achieve - with himself." - from the inner front jacket flap.
