Vietman Bao Chi brings together interviews with 35 combat
correspondents who reported on the Vietnam War. They wrote the
stories of Vietnam, captured the images and filmed the television
coverage of their fellow servicemen on the battlefields from the
Mekong Delta in the south to the DMZ in Central Vietnam, from the
Tet Offensive in 1968 to the fall of Saigon in 1975. They were men
like Dale Dye, who would go on to play an integral role in the
making of Platoon, the first film to realistically portray the
Vietnam War; marine Steve Stibbens, the first Stars and Stripes
reporter in Vietnam in early 1962; Jim Morris, 1st and 5th Special
Forces Group, whose works such as War Story and Fighting Men,
recount the soldiering of the Green Berets and their Montagnard
counterparts in the Central Highlands of Vietnam; John Del Vecchio,
whose classic work of nonfiction, The 13th Valley, mirrors his own
existence as a combat correspondent with the 101st Airborne
Division in Vietnam; and U.S. Navy Seal Chip Maury, renowned for
his free fall and underwater photography in Vietnam. For years,
there has been a well-deserved plethora of work by and about those
who covered the war as civilians, with this book dedicating four of
its chapters to civilian media. There hasn't been enough about the
soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who did so
while wearing an American uniform. Yablonka's extensive experience
as a military journalist brought him into contact with many of
these combat correspondents, giving him a unique insight into their
professions and lives. This book honours these brave chroniclers in
uniform who brought the Vietnam War home to us.
