Editor’s Note
  1. Mandy Kirkby, Editor
Dispatches is the most famous book on the Vietnam War, and probably the best. This electrifying piece of reportage shaped the American public's understanding of the conflict - and still offers the definitive account of war in our time. Herr was only 27 when he went to Vietnam and he immersed himself completely, following platoons on the ground in reckless jeopardy, catching helicopters like taxis and sharing the experience of the ordinary soldiers (the 'grunts'). He reported that experience in mesmerising prose that seized by the throat, and no reporting from the war until then had come anywhere near that.​For this 50th anniversary edition, we've added work by two Vietnam legends – an exclusive introduction by Frances FitzGerald, one of only a handful of women who reported on the war, and photographs by Tim Page, fearless photojournalist and model for the crazy photographer in Apocalypse Now.

Book is well written and evokes the time so well. It captures the spirit of the times and the difficulties, tension, and fear that the combatants felt together with the swirl of emotions he felt. The photographs add to the writing and enhance the the enjoyment. The book is produced and presented to the extremely high standard of the society's offerings and adds the whole experience.

The care that has been taken with the production of this volume of Michael Herr's landmark work on the Vietnam War increases its pertinence with photos and illustrations. Furthermore, the obvious care that has been taken in the design and presentation of the volume compliments the highly susinct language and empathetic reportage Mr Herr brought to his writings about the human face of this conflict.
