London: Jonathan Cape Ltd,, 1925. A masterly portrayal of political and psychological struggle First edition, first impression, handsomely bound. This thriller, the author's most popular work, "draws on his own brief experience of the [Irish] Civil War to present a grim but psychologically compelling portrait of divided allegiances and intolerable mental pressure" (Vance, p. 182). It received that year's James Tait Black Memorial Prize and inspired the Oscar-winning film of 1935 starring Victor McLaglen. Octavo. Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in terracotta morocco, titles and decoration to spine, raised bands, single rule to boards, twin rule to turn-ins, dark green endpapers, gilt edges. A fine copy.
