That Day Alone is the Odyssey of a clear thinking and compassionate witness of contemporary history who probes beneath the surface of events in his untiring search for the human equation, the personal turning point, the fateful minute that determines the course of mankind." Softening and rubbing of the back strip edges with rubbing of the book corners and slight bumping to the top book corners. Light tanning of the text block edges and pages with faint the end pages. What can I say about the dustwrapper? – apart from the fact that it is in atrocious condition – please see photograph of Chipping loss, to the dustwrapper corners and to the top back strip edge. There is a tear that goes the fullwidth across the back strip and then for 3 1/2 inches down to the lower book edge – with associated creasing.
