Hardcover. First edition. Bottom corners bumped, a very good plus copy in a near fine dustwrapper with very tiny nicks and tears. A handsome copy of the author's first novel, whose satiric anti-war attitude set the tone for the 1960s, and whose title quickly became part of the language. Mike Nichols directed the 1970 screen version with Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam, Richard Benjamin, Art Garfunkel, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins, Martin Sheen, Jon Voight, Orson Welles, and Buck Henry, who also wrote the screenplay.
