London The Mandrake Press, 1929. First edition, signed by the author on front free endpaper; 8vo; minor marginal toning to text-block; publisher's cloth, dust-jacket, a little tanned and worn at spine, overall very good. A very good World War I tale by Irish novelist Liam O'Flaherty, uncommon signed. Decidedly anti-war in tone, the story follows the misadventures of nine bomb squad soldiers caught up in an ineffable and existential struggle with a nebulous foe always out of reach. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover; In Dust Jacket]
