BATTLES IN THE MONSOON, by S.L.A. Marshall. A campaign chronicle of the summer of 1966, punctuated by booby traps, fire fights and personal courage, that provides a genuine understanding of the Viet Nam war.
CLOWN ON FIRE, by Aaron Judah. Novelist Judah transplants a Polish Jewish family to India, where Mama worries about whether her daughters will marry Buddhists. Her son turns out to be an Eastern cousin to Salinger's Holden Caulfield, and his dark days at the Horace College of Rifles in Peshawar rival Holden's at Pencey Prep any old day.
A MAN CALLED LUCY, by Pierre Accoce and Pierre Quet. A spy history that concerns itself with the most unbelievable-and unbelieved—of World War II agents: Swiss-based Rudolph ("Lucy") Roessler, who told all to the Allies and found credence only in the Kremlin.
MAY WE BORROW YOUR HUSBAND? AND OTHER COMEDIES OF THE SEXUAL LIFE, by Graham Greene. In twelve unmannered, perfectly controlled short stories, Greene again sifts a favorite theme: sex. But this time it is autumnal sex, viewed from the vantage point of memory.
