The Night of the Wolf

Four novellas, and a campaign. Leiber, twice a Hugo winner by 1966, spent them taking quiet aim at militarism. Ballantine printed "an original publication — not a reprint" across the top of the back cover, which is true of the book and generous to the stories: all of them had already run in Galaxy, Amazing or Astounding between 1950 and 1962. Richard Powers painted the cover.
