About This Item
PRESS COPY WITH PUBLISHERS STATIONARY SHEET inserted. First edition. Slight soiling on top edge else fine in fine dust wrapper. One of the best books of the Vietnam War, a series of reports by the author who was a correspondent for *Esquire* magazine. Though consider part of the New Journalism movement, Herr readily acknowledged that many of the characters and dialogue were fictional creations based on the people he met while on assignment, including Sean Flynn (son of Errol Flynn) and Dana Stone, who disappeared after their capture by the Viet Cong. Herr would later write the narration in *Apocalypse Now* and be credited in the screenplay for *Full Metal Jacket*. First editions in nice condition have become quite uncommon, this is an exceptional copy.
