Mr. Herr withheld nothing ...
... his writing is clear, concise, honest; the entire book is one clean ride. It broke my heart while enraging my brain at the loss & stupidity. I couldn't put it down-as soon as I got it, I started reading. I'll wait a couple weeks & read it again. He is a hero to all the men & women who needed/wanted to have the American side of Vietnam told, with all its horrendous conditions & brutality, just like the "grunt" begged him to. Indeed, one of the most well written, thorough & impactful books I have read about Vietnam. I am soo glad Mr. Herr put this book out there. It should be required reading in History, Social Studies, Humanities, Psychology et al in our educational programs.

Classic book on Vietnam War.
A good friend who served in Vietnam , US Army, and has read about everything published by Americans about the war told me that Dispatches did the best job of capturing the surreal nature of that experience.
