Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. 305 Pages. First Edition by the full number line. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped. This is a book about Andrew Marshall and his creation of the American Defense and Nuclear Strategy. The book's dust jacket is in Near Fine condition with very slight wearing along its bottom and top edges, and a small crease across the bottom right corner of the front cover's inside flap keeping it from being Fine. The Interior book is also in Near Fine condition with the remnant stain from some glueing on the front two pages (Front inside cover and 1st page) and the bookstore security sticker on the first page in from the rear cover. Outside of those two distractions, there are no visible extraneous markings, or other visible distractions or detriments throughout the book and thus all of the book's printing and photographs are all in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you order this very in-depth look at our nation's defense strategy and the man that created a lot of it, we will very carefully wrap it up, then pad and box it and mail it right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it and it will come with our genuine appreciation for your order.…
