Soft cover. Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. "How I Won the War" by Patrick Ryan. Published in 1967 by Ballantine Books. First Edition, First Printing. Movie Tie-In Edition "Ex-infantryman and reconnaissance officer, author and humorist Patrick Ryan is perhaps best remembered for this acerbically comic novel - first published in 1963 and quickly adapted into a 1967 feature film by Richard Lester, starring Michael Crawford and John Lennon. It is a satirical 'memoir' of the misadventures of the haphazard and notably naive Lieutenant Ernest Goodbody and his fellow fighting men of Twelve Platoon - Sergeant Transom, Corporals Hink, Globe and Dooley, Private Drogue et al - as they stumble ill-preparedly into the theatres of World War Two." Book is in Poor condition, but is still bound & readable. A lot, lot of rubbing/wear/creasing on the covers. Small tears on the edges of the covers. Several spine creases. Staining on the outside page edges. Some of the staining does bleed onto some of the interior pages. Inked name on inside. Your purchase supports a small business.
