Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. First printing. Naval Institute Press, 1986. 335 pages. Clean inside and out; binding is solid and square. Near Fine dustjacket, with just a touch of minor wear at spots along the top edge. Still one of the nicest copies I've seen. From the front flap: "Richard McKenna could have described his life much as Irish playwright Sean O'Casey once did: "When I stepped from hard manual labor to writing, I just stepped from one kind of hard work to another." McKenna's twenty-two year stint as a machinist's mate in the U.S. Navy was followed by an intense, though tragically short, literary career. Like O'Casey, he base dhis writing on his own experiences, and his extraordinary efforts earned him a permanent place in contemporary literature. Made famous by his 1962 bestselling novel The Sand Pebbles, McKenna also wrote short stories and was working on an autobiographical novel, The Sons of Martha, at the time of his premature death in 1964. The collection in this book brings together for the first time the best of his short works of naval nonfiction and fiction.".
