{{Big|''Why Are We in Vietnam?'' New York: Putnam’s, 15 September; London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, March or April 1969. Novel, 208 pp., $4.95.}}


Republished with preface by Mailer. New York: Berkley, January 1977 ([[77.1]]). Preface reprinted as “Are We in Vietnam?” in [[82.16]]. Dedication (Putnam’s only): “To My Friends: Roger Donoghue, Buzz Farber [sic], Mickey Knox, Norman Podhoretz, Cy Rembar and José Torres.” Two states of the Putnam’s “first impression” exist. One contains a tipped-in dedication page with Buzz Farbar’s name misspelled Farber; the other has no dedication page. It seems likely that the dedication page was an afterthought, added just before publication and then excised when the spelling error was found. This interpretation is supported by two facts: first, the great majority of examined copies do not have the dedication page; and second, the British first edition also lacks one. The dedication, with correct spelling of Farbar’s name, appears in three subsequent softcover editions.
