A friend posted today that Michael Herr just died. The link said that he went through years of depression after returning from Vietnam, and after reading the book the only surprise would be if he hadn't. He reported for Esquire during the most intense year of the war, from late 1967 through the Tet Offensive. His level of sensitivity and perception must have heightened an experience that would have been brutal for anyone, but we the readers reap the rewards. This isn't history, it's a 262 page stream of consciousness prose poem from an artist who uses words as his medium. If you have any sense of the era it will snap you back in time; you'll feel the feral heat and humidity in the middle of winter, and hear rotor blades on a silent afternoon. Like his contemporaries the Beatles, Michael Herr lived to 76 knowing his legacy was set in stone by his early 30s; I hope he could accept that, because it's an extraordinary legacy, indeed. He assisted Coppola with Apocalypse Now and Kubrick with Full Metal Jacket; fans of those movies should read Dispatches to get the unvarnished source material, more in feel than in actual events.I first read Dispatches in the late 70s and I've gone through several copies and 8 or 10 readings in the intervening years. I finally got a clue and bought the book on Kindle today so I don't have to go looking for it or buy yet another copy when I feel the urge to read this prose that can still give me chills almost four decades after I first found it.Rest in Peace, Michael, and thank you.
After reading "Sand in the Wind" "Fields of Fire" and 20 other books and being a Marine Corps Grunt I thought I knew Vietnam...Until I went there in 2013. I travelled the length of the country, went to Hue, Da'Nang, the Khe Sanh and many of the places written about in this book. A collection of hundreds of short stories, "dispatches" sent to news organizations or observations of Michael Herr's time in Nam.' After visiting, reading more I understand it...but I still shake my head at the Washington policy makers, The military/Industrial Complex that sent us there...anyone with a tiny bit of history and looked at the terrain knew this war was not winnable-unless the USA invaded the north and killed people wholesale. This book goes a long way into seeing and understanding what was really going on.
Herr was in Vietnam as an Esquire correspondent for two years, a period that included the Tet offensive in 1968. He notes that almost 700 such writers were accredited to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) during Tet. The “grunts†tolerated correspondents on an individual basis but when they showed up in a grouping of five or six, for example, the troops got pretty nervous and worried that something bad was about to happen. The usual question he got was, â€What the hell are you doing here, man?†Herr’s stoic reaction — he had a job to do, just like them. Herr writes movingly about the siege of Khe Sanh and the combat at Hue, how it changed the men who survived the seemingly endless days and nights trying to stay alive with little sleep. Occasionally he reports examples of Marines’ dark humor. The joke went, “You load all the Friendlies onto ships and take them out to the South China Sea. Then you bomb the country flat and then you sink all the ships.†The enemy wasn’t always the Viet Cong (VC). One afternoon at Khe Sanh a Marine opened the door of a latrine and was killed by a grenade that had been rigged on the door. Something like that happened in my outfit when an unexploded grenade was discovered in the executive officer’s jeep gas tank. Another facet of the war was its cruelty and thirst for revenge. A Belgian told of an American who loaded up twenty-some VC dead bodies in a helicopter sling and dropped them in the center of a hostile village. “Ah, psywar,†said the Belgian, kissing his fingertips. Herr was skeptical of pronouncements by the colonels and generals who claimed that things were getting better, we’re turning the corner, and other optimistic propaganda. Perhaps the truest view was that of a battalion S-2 (intelligence officer) who once covered his papers with a sheet where he had written — What does it all mean? Herr’s book was published several years after his return to The World. He doesn’t offer any conclusions about the war and pretty much leaves it up to the reader. But looking back almost fifty years with 20/20 vision one has to wonder if it was worth the 58,315 Americans killed in action.
