The Day The War Ends

New York: Belmont Books, [1961]. First edition thus. This book represents an example of what a publisher will do to sell a book. Actually the book is an abridged paperback edition of Civilian Under Arms, a collection of Stars and Stripes pieces by draftees, including Sgt. Jimmy Cannon, Lt.[jg] Bill Brinkley, Pvt. Harold Ross, Sgt. Alexander Woolcott, Lt. Grantland Rice, Pvt. Irwin Shaw, et al, edited by former Sgt. Herbert Mitgang. Shaw's contribution, The Day The War Ends, accounts for exactly two pages of the book's 140 pages--but Irwin Shaw collectors keep looking for it anyway. Very good in pictorial wrappers.
