Dispatches
In a compilation of his news items, portions of which originally appeared in Rolling Stone and Esquire, Herr bears harsh witness to the waste of war, affording immediate, brutal perspectives that evoke the irony, fear, and war-stained psyches of the men he met in the field. "I went to cover the war and the war covered me."
