Written on the front lines in Vietnam, "Dispatches "became an
immediate classic of war reportage when it was published in 1977.
From its terrifying opening pages to its final eloquent words,
"Dispatches "makes us see, in unforgettable and unflinching detail,
the chaos and fervor of the war and the surreal insanity of life in
that singular combat zone. Michael Herr's unsparing, unorthodox
retellings of the day-to-day events in Vietnam take on the force of
poetry, rendering clarity from one of the most incomprehensible and
nightmarish events of our time.
"Dispatches "is among the most blistering and compassionate
accounts of war in our literature.
