Assigned by Reuters to Vietnam, twenty-five-year-old correspondent Hugh Lunn left London with just ten pounds for expenses and a one-way ticket to Saigon. Arriving at the height of the war in 1967, he witnessed some of the most bloody and dramatic events. Bombed, shot at and lied to by the military, Hugh Lunn discovered that Vietnam was a war of words - and images - as well as bullets.
More than just a story of war, 'Vietnam: A Reporter's War' is a powerful and beautifully told account of the human side of a tragic era. In his moving preface to this new edition, Hugh Lunn reflects on how the book continues to be a conduit to the past for many people.
