199727293<p>London:: Picador 1997. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. Michael Herr went to Vietnam in 1967 virtually unknown as a writer but armed with press credentials for Esquire Magazine he quickly rose above the crowd of writers covering the war with his brilliant unorthodox prose. Herr's six extended pieces in this collection capture the war and its participants like no other writer except for Tim O'Brian in his equally masterful "The Things They Carried." Herr was one of the original Gonzo New Journalists in the company of such literary trail-cutters as Hunter S Thompson Tom Wolfe Truman Capote and Gay Talese. Herr when not imbedded on numerous marine and army operations spent many off hours in the company of three other flamboyant correspondents: Tim Page Dana Stone and Sean Flynn Errol Flynn's son. Photographer Page would survive his experience in Vietnam but in 1970 while traveling by motorcycle in Cambodia Flynn and Dana Stone on assignment for Time magazine and CBS News respectively were captured by communist guerrillas at a roadblock on Highway One. They were never heard from again and their remains have never been found. Herr found himself in as much danger as the soldiers he set out to document in a war that was more disillusioning than understandable. He was with the marines during the prolonged siege of Khe Sanh and most effectively captured the hallucinatory madness of the battle. "Dispatches" is as good as war writing gets; Herr puts the reader right where he is so that his experience becomes yours which is about as close as most people would ever want to get to the real thing.</p> Picador, hardcover

Very good copies. 40pp;40pp. Internally clean a little staple related rust here and there but otherwise very presentable. Originally published in Stars and Stripes and extremely popular with the men on the ground the Nguyen Charlie strip became much needed relief from painful nature of the conflict it so satirically illustrated. Francisco Flores "Corky" Trinidad was a Filipino-American journalist and cartoonist who fled the Phillipines during the Marcos dictatorship and whose work was internationally syndicated throughout the 1970's and 80's he was in fact the first Asian editorial cartoonist to be syndicated within the US and the only Asian-American cartoonist working at a major US newspaper. The Nguyen Charlie cartoon books are rather ephemeral little volumes and presentable copies are quite rare. Stars and Stripes unknown
198727886<p>New York:: Crown 1987. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. The Ravens were American forward air-controllers who directed strikes from vulnerable low-flying spotter planes mainly in support of a Meo general named Vang Pao in Laos. "Advised" by the CIA this fierce warlord fought to keep the North Vietnamese out of the strategic Plain of Jars. Robbins Air America conveys the unique flavor of Raven-style combat and also explains how the diplomatic-military dynamics of the clandestine war in Laos fit into the overall American effort in Southeast Asia. The cast of characters is memorable: a swaggering rowdy bunch of mavericks whom their parent service the U.S. Air Force had great difficulty controlling they seemed to get by on sheer cussedness. According to the author they suffered the highest casualty rate of the Indochinese War. Robbins describes the poignant plight of displaced Meo/Hmong tribespeople who have settled uneasily in the United Statesincluding General Paoand their ongoing struggle to "propitiate the alien spirits of America."
