Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. P.B., in many ways considerably more interesting than the h.c. with a cover painting of a blonde German woman/hooker? giving a white soldier a come hither look (even though the novel concerned Afro-A soldiers in occupied Berlin} with a full page anonymous intro not found in the H.C.… and a later paragraph from Smith from the Pitt Courier, where a Afro-A soldier announces he;s going back to Germany where he was treated more decently than in America. An about fine unread copy with minor imperfections.VVclst2/4.

Debut novel by the expatriate American journalist and writer, written at the age of twenty while Smith was serving as an Army typist in occupied Berlin.
