Dispatches
by Michael Herr
I don't know how I managed not to hear about this book sooner. It's not as though it isn't famous, but it had never caught my attention until it was picked as a group read for Reading With Style. I loved the writing style here. This was honest reporting and war journalism of a kind that I haven't read much before. Like [b:The Things They Carried|133518|The Things They Carried|Tim O'Brien|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1424663847s/133518.jpg|1235619], the book describes real experiences in heartbreaking detail. Unlike that book, the author here relays his own story of the effect that being in Vietnam had on him and the story of how journalists were perceived. Very interesting book and I'm really glad that someone picked it.
The narrator of the audiobook did an excellent job with this.
