About This Item
New York: Henry Holt, 1987. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. This is a book, controversial for its vividly depicted violence, that uses violence and atrocities in Vietnam to throw a spotlight on violence in America. It is the story of two American soldiers from the same unit in Vietnam who return home -- one to try to deal with his PTSD, the other to continue to kill. The LA Times called it "a brutal and scarifying book," and Nichols, himself, the author of "The Sterile Cuckoo" and "The Milagro Beanfield War," has said of "American Blood," "It's been on film option but I hope they never make the movie." Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket has a 1 1/2", closed tear on the fold on the back panel, and the top edge of the front panel shows a light, almost un-noticeable "sun line," o/w no significant flaws, no creasing, no chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
