Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.: Milkweed Editions, 2007. UNCORRECTED PROOF . Hard Paper Wraps. Very Good/No Jacket. First Printing. The winner of the Milkweed National Fiction Prize and a finalist in the Barnes and Nobel Discover Award for new fiction. A remarkable story that leaves you with a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach and throat---a cry for no more war. Somalia in the uprising of clans in 1992---the infiltration of an army unit and how they got lost behind enemy lines---and survival meant you had to observe what went on from "The Farther Shore". Not a fine copy--but a very good one--has been read copy--signed on the title page. A book critic's copy used before interviewing the author. Matthew Eck's first novel.
