A Fine copy in a Fine, unclipped dust jacket. This copy is signed by O'Brien. While this collection of stories involving a single platoon in Vietnam is referred to as a work of fiction it is difficult to determine where the line between fact and imagination begins and ends. "The Things They Carried" is considered one of the two best portrayals of the war experience in Vietnam along with Michael Herr's "Dispatches." "Things" is simply a tour-de-force of exquisite writing about the time, the place, and the men who experienced that particular conflict.

Signed and inscribed on half-title page to friend and colleague David Milofsky. Fine in near fine dust jacket, in mylar cover.
