FORSYTH, Frederick. The Fist of God. London: Bantam Press, (1994). Octavo, original black cloth, original dust jacket.

First edition of Forsyth’s novel about the 1991 Gulf War, inscribed in the year of publication on the title page by the author, “Frederick Forsyth, May 1994.”

“One of the first novelists to take on the Persian Gulf War, Frederick Forsyth combines fact and fiction in The Fist of God? Many old friends and enemies are present: George Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Yitzhak Shamir, Brent Scowcroft, Saddam Hussein, James Baker, Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell? We get a great deal of Gulf War history. But Forsyth never forgets that he is writing a novel? [and] The Fist of God has its suspenseful Armageddon aspect” (New York Times).

A fine inscribed copy.
