Abstract

Reveals the motivation for writing the book "Dispatches" (l977), based on Herr's experiences as a correspondent in Vietnam. Discusses the difficulties with writing the book as it tries to capture the experience, sympathize with the participants, and yet allow the reader to walk away from it in the end. (NH)
