Full grey cloth, gilt-on-black titles on front board & spine, xi, 126 pp. Owner's name on fpd. DJ has a few tiny tears to edges, else fine; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "Each step into the morass of Vietnam seemed reasonable and necessary at the time; each step was followed by another slightly longer which sank slightly deeper into the quicksand. The 800 Americans of 1960 had grown to an army of 400,000 in 1966--the border skirmish to the fourth largest war in United States history. ... The Bitter Heritage is more than a vivid account of a tragic war: it uses the insights of history to make a powerful statement of the perils which which the indefinite enlargement of this war would bring to American democracy and world peace." Shipping weight 2 lbs. (International 1 lb., 4 oz.). First Edition. . Near Fine/Near Fine. 21 X 14 cm.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box.

International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges.
