October 21, 1967, Washington, D.C. 20,000 to 200,000 protesters are
marching to end the war in Vietnam, while helicopters hover
overhead and federal marshals and soldiers with fixed bayonets
await them on the Pentagon steps. Among the marchers is Norman
Mailer. From his own singular participation in the day's events and
his even more extraordinary perceptions comes a classic work that
shatters the mould of traditional reportage. Intellectuals and
hippies, clergymen and cops, poets and army MPs crowd the pages of
a book in which facts are fused with techniques of fiction to
create the nerve-end reality of experiential truth. The Armies of
the Night uniquely and unforgettably captures the Sixties' tidal
wave of love and rage at its crest and a towering genius at his
peak.
