From the dustjacket blurb:“At the height of the Vietnam War, Jacques Leslie was a fledgling war correspondent when a colleague told him about ‘the mark’—the craving for the intensity of war, the belief of many journalists that they were most alive in a war zone—and instantly Leslie knew that he had it. In ‘The Mark,’ Leslie searches with uncompromising honesty for the source of his own attraction too war. “‘The Mark’ is at once a historical memoir, a coming-of-age story, and an exploration of the workings of journalism. . . . By the end of his two years in Indochina, Leslie had become an award-winning veteran combat reporter: he had experienced first-hand the collapse of the American-supported regimes in both Vietnam and Cambodia; and he had become the first American journalist to cross the front lines and report on the Viet Cong from their point of view.”The book is in fine collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
