THIS A FIRST PRINTING WITH THE POINTS: FIVE LINES AT TOP AND FIVE AT BOTTOM OF COPYRIGHT PAGE, NO ADDITIONAL PRINTINGS LISTED, NOTHING ON THE BACK JACKET EXCEPT A PICTURE OF THE AUTHOR. WINNER OF THE 1975 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION. It took Shaara seven years to write this novel and submission to 16 publishers before it was accepted.
