First Edition of The Ugly American (1958).A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS: THIS BOOK is Written as fiction; but it is based on fact. The things we write about have, in essence, happened. They have happened not only in Asia, where the story takes place, but throughout the world-in the fifty-nine countries where over two million Americans are stationed.At the end of the book we have added a documentary epilogue which we hope will convince the reader that what we have written is not just an angry dream, but rather the rendering of fact into fiction. The names, the places, the events, are our inventions; our aim is not to embarrass individuals, but to stimulate thought-and, we hope, action. BILL LEDERER EvGENE BURDICK. Pearl City, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, 1958
