With an introduction by Kevin Powers. A groundbreaking piece of
journalism which inspired Stanley Kubrick's classic Vietnam War
film Full Metal Jacket. We took space back quickly, expensively,
with total panic and close to maximum brutality. Our machine was
devastating. And versatile. It could do everything but stop.
Michael Herr went to Vietnam as a war correspondent for Esquire. He
returned to tell the real story in all its hallucinatory madness
and brutality, cutting to the quick of the conflict and its
seductive, devastating impact on a generation of young men. His
unflinching account is haunting in its violence, but even more so
in its honesty. First published in 1977, Dispatches was a
revolutionary piece of new journalism that evoked the experiences
of soldiers in Vietnam and has forever shaped our understanding of
the conflict. It is now a seminal classic of war reportage.
