Description: Hi! You're looking at a BRAND NEW and UNREAD condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a fascinating collection of travel essays written by MATTHEW STEVENSON--the book is a collectible copy which is SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR and a STATED FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET with the original 20 Euros price in the lower corner of the front inner flap and the original $25.00 US price on the lower center of the back surface of the dustjacket. This book has just slight shelfwear on the dustjacket typical of many new books and is in PERFECT shape otherwise! The book is AUTOGRAPHED with no inscription on the title page. The book is titled Mentioned in Dispatches: The Travel Essays of an Expatriate American and it was written by MATTHEW STEVENSON; it was published by Odysseus Books in 2005 and is a 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.In these essays, Stevenson, with wit and insight, describes crossing Poland by bicycle, the countries of former Yugoslavia, visiting the battlefields of Okinawa, and Albania's brave new world (?the province of pyramid schemes and stolen cars?). He explores the myths of Omaha Beach and Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (?a war movie by a guy who has seen a lot of war movies?). When in New York after September 11, he recalls his earlier visits to Asian battlefields (?the skeletal frame of the Trade Center evokes the dome at Hiroshima?). A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
