A beautiful 1st Edition in original publisher's illustrated dust jacket.
Dick's Alternative History novel depicts a post-WW II world in which Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan defeated the Allied Powers and, similar to the real-life actual carving up of Europe by the Allies, lord over a defeated and partitioned United States.
