Light tone, light edgewear, otherwise light wear. Solid mass market paperback. ; Signed by author. "Mcihael Cull, a twenty-year old soldier, is assigned as a guard at Phu Nam ... His major interest is a love affair with En, a Vietnamese bargirld, but he breaks off with her after suspecting that her only interest in him is as a ticket to the United States. In a Vietcong attack, Cull is slightly wounded. At the hospital, he takes advantage of being confused with another, more gravely wounded soldier, and managed an illegal flight to Hawaii. From there, he deserts, taking a civilian flight home and then hitching a ride for Canada. He thinks that his reasons for desertion have nothing to do with patriotism or cowardice. It is simply that the wary does not make sense to him." - John Newman; Vietnam War Literature: An Annotated Bibliography of Imaginative Works About American Fighting in Vietnam; Second Edition; 211. ; 206 pages.
