"The Armies of the Night" by Norman Mailer, published by The New American Library in New York, 1968, is a significant work that blends history and fiction. This first printing of the paperback edition presents Mailer's unique narrative style, capturing the events surrounding the 1967 March on the Pentagon. Known for his innovative approach, Mailer won the Pulitzer Prize for this work, offering a novelistic perspective on historical events. This edition is particularly notable as it marks the first time the book was available in paperback, making it a valuable find for collectors interested in Mailer's exploration of history and narrative.
