Over 40 vivid accounts of America's defining conflict
The Vietnam War was covered by some truly outstanding writers, both journalists and combatants. Lewis has selected the most compelling writing - fiction as well as non-fiction - to come out of the conflict. Covering every facet of the war, this remarkable anthology is essential reading for anyone interested in the defining conflict of the second half of the twentieth century.
It includes an eyewitness account of the fighting at Ia Drang, the first major battle between the US Army and the People's Army of Vietnam; Nicholas Tomalin's famous 'The General Goes Zapping Charlie Cong'; Studs Terkel's account of police action at an anti-war protest and John Kifner on the shootings at Kent State; extracts from helicopter pilot Robert Mason's extraordinary memoir Chickenhawk, from Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, Tim O'Brien's If I Die in a Combat Zone and Michael Herr's Dispatches; Pulitzer Prize-winner Seymour M. Hersh on the massacre at My Lai; Truong Nhu Tang's Viet Cong memoir; and John Pilger on the fall of Saigon.
