Suntup Editions released three limited editions of this work: an artist edition (unnumbered, but with a limitation stated on the colophon); numbered edition (numbered on the colophon), and lettered edition (lettered on the colophon). In general, Suntup's numbered and lettered editions are more elaborately designed, and signed by more contributors than the artist editions. Inspiration for 1971 film starring Timothy Bottoms, Kathy Fields, Marsha Hunt, Jason Robards, Donald Sutherland, and Diane Varsi. This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered - not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives... This is no ordinary novel. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome... but so is war.
