Jonathan Schell's extraordinary on-the-scene writing about Vietnam
has stood the test of time in our continuing attempt to understand
how and why the United States went to war-and how and why it lost.
In "The Village of Ben Suc" written "with skill that many a veteran
reporter will envy" ("New York Times"), Schell recounts how
American forces destroyed a village caught up in the largest
American military operation of the war-he flies into Ben Suc in the
attack helicopters, follows the assault on the village, and
describes the fate of the villages after they have been taken to
refugee camps. In "Military Half," Schell describes the destruction
of two entire provinces in South Vietnam by American bombing and
ground operations-he flies in the air-control planes that guide the
bombing and provides firsthand accounts of the runs and their
results. In "Real War," Schell offers a personal look back at the
war he reported decades before.
"The Real War" is without equal in re-creating the sights, the
sounds, and the feel of Vietnam.
"If, years from now, Americans are willing to read any books about
the war, let them be "The Village of Ben Suc" and "The Military
Half" by Jonathan Schell. They tell everything." -Gloria Emerson
