Book Reviews of Reporting Vietnam: American Journalism 1959-1975 (Library of America)

Book Review: For students of the era, a valuable compilation of sources.
Summary: 4 Stars

Students of history must be extremely grateful to the editors of REPORTING VIETNAM for bringing together so many classic, insightful accounts of the war. Most interesting, to my mind, are the reports from Vietnam itself, but the complicated situation at home is explored, as well. One particular story, Specialist 4/C Jack P. Smith's report on battle in the Ia Drang Valley, is one of the most dramatic expositions of combat I have read. Tom Wolfe, Neil Sheehan, Stanley Karnow, David Halberstam, Homer Bigart, and Bernard Fall also stand out. These two volumes are absolutely first-rate, and are sure to add measurably to our remembrance of the war.
