"Formidable, gripping and always informative...Laurence''s
eloquent, at times acerbic recollection of Vietnam is one of the
finest books in its genre, comparable to Michael Herr''s
Dispatches." --The New York Times Book Review. John Laurence
covered the Vietnam war for CBS News from 1965 to 1970 and was
judged by his colleagues to be the best television reporter of the
war. His documentary about a squad of U.S. troops, "The World of
Charlie Company," received every major award for broadcast
journalism. Despite the professional acclaim, however, the
traumatic stories Laurence covered became a personal burden that he
carried long after the war was over.In this evocative, unflinching
memoir, laced with humor, anger, love, and the unforgettable story
of Mo, the Vietnamese cat, Laurence recalls coming of age during
the war years as a journalist and as a man. Along the way, he
clarifies the murky history of the war and the role that
journalists played in altering its course. The Cat from Hu has
earned passionate acclaim from many of the most renowned
journalists and writers about the war, as well as from military
officers and war veterans, book reviewers, and readers. Now
available in trade paperback with a new epilogue, this book will
stand with Michael Herr''s Dispatches , Philip Caputo''s A Rumor of
War , and Neil Sheehan''s A Bright, Shining Lie as one of the best
books ever written about Vietnam-and about war generally.
