First edition of this classic account of The Korean War. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, “To my buddy, Alfred Wagg (ed Twagga) A little mouse under the Presidents’ chair? I looked Twagg was there! Pat Frank.” Very good in a very good dust jacket.
Hold Back the Night is an excellent account of the withdrawal from the Korean reservoirs during the very worst days of the Korean War. It is compellingly and believably written, and tells a wonderful story of courage and dedication under fire, and the interactions and bonds that form in a small unit under continuous threat of attack.
