`THE BEST BOOK TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR`
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
A War Correspondent`s NATIONAL BESTSELLER Of Soldiers at the Front
`THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ON MEN AND WAR IN OUR TIME`
-JOHN LE CARRE

`TOUGH, PROFANE, RELENTLESS... ELEGANT`
NEWSWEEK

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.

MICHAEL HERR was born in Syracuse, New
York, and attended Syracuse University. In 1967, he went to Vietnam as a war correspondent for Esquire magazine. There, without any restric-tions, he roamed the war-ravaged countryside watching, looking, listening, and writing it all down.

`THE PREMIER WAR CORRESPONDENCE FROM VIETNAM... Michael Herr reaches an excruciating level of intensity.`
WASHINGTON POST
`THE BEST PERSONAL JOURNAL ABOUT WAR, ANY WAR, THAT ANY WRITER HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED... With uncanny precision it summons up the very essence of the war-its space diction, its surreal psychology, its bitter humor-the dope, the Dexedrine, the body bags, the rot, all of it.`
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
`You can get combat fatigue just from reading this book.`
