BERNARD FALL: Memories of a Soldier-Scholar by Dorothy Fall 2007 PB 1Ed/1

Description: BERNARD FALL: Memories of a Soldier-Scholar by Dorothy Fall. NEW First Edition stated, full number line paperback, 2007. Bernard Fall wrote the classics "Street Without Joy" and "Hell in a Very Small Place", which detailed the French experience in Vietnam. One of the first (and the best-informed) Western observers to state that the United States could not win there either, he was killed in Vietnam in 1967 while accompanying a Marine platoon. Written by his widow Dorothy, this narrative tells the story of this courageous and influential Frenchman, who experienced many of the major events of the twentieth century. His mother perished at Auschwitz, his father was killed by the Gestapo, and he himself fought in the Resistance. It focuses, however, on Vietnam and on two love stories. The first details Fall's love for Vietnam and his efforts to save the country from destruction and the United States from disaster. The second shows a husband and father dedicated to a cause that continuously lured him away from those he loved. NEW First Edition stated, full number line paperback, unread with acid-free pages and edges clean and unmarked. Binding very tight with spine uncreased. Cover shows no corner wear and minor edge wear to spine edge at bottom. No tears and no scuffing with a slight wrinkle to front top left corner. Not a remainder. Excellent condition. 6.25" x 9.25".
