Description: In Once Upon a Distant War William Prochnau vividly brings to life the adventures of the small group of young, audacious, and driven war correspondents who first put Vietnam on America's doorstep. With the lyrical, evocative writing of a novelist and the experienced eye of a prize-winning journalist, Prochnau brings back an almost forgotten time and place - before the earth was cratered by B-52s and scorched by search-and-destroy missions.
