description: Michael Herr went to Vietnam in 1967 as Esquire's correspondent. From the very first with the publication of his famous article, "Hell Sucks", he was accorded widespread, fervent acclaim. Dispatches confirms what his early admirers already knew: no one else has written so eloquently, so powerfully, so terrifyingly about what it was to fight in (and to survive) that ghastly war.
