Description
Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
This novel draws upon the author's experiences during the Second World War, and was an instant best-seller., selling two hundred thousand copies in the first three months. Interestingly, the work was so full of profanities that the publisher refused to publish it without using an alternative, 'fug'.

An early edition; this work was first published in the U.S.A. the same year, with this edition a first impression of the first U.K. edition.
