In the beginning it was such a nice little war.No sense ofimpending disaster hung over Vietnam in 1961no hint of an Apocalypse Now future that would sear the American psyche for a generation.With only a few American advisors there and a handful of journalists to send the news home as the military force slowly grew largerSaigon remained a steamy Oriental backwater of dark intrigue and mesmerising romance.Vietnam captivated the first Americans - the military menthe self-certain civilians and the war correspondents too.It captivated them like a Venus flytrap. In 'Once Upon a Distant War' William Prochnau vividly brings to life the adventures of a small group of youngaudacious and dedicated war correspondents who first brought Vietnam to America's consciousness. Mal BrowneNeil Sheehan and David Halberstamalong with Peter Arnett and Charles Mohrwere just learning the ropes as reporters - and they had to learn fast in Vietnam.With the lyrical evocative writing of a novelst and the experience eye of a prize-winning journalistProchnau captures an almost forgotten time and place - before the earth was cratered by B-52s and scorched by search- and-destroy missions.Prochnau draws the characters powerfullytelling their story in the high drama of two years of living dangerously- shot at in the fieldbeaten in the streets and threatenedwith assassination.Their own government denounces them as communists and traitorstoo young to know any better; so domany of their older colleagues.Their editors doubt them andtry to rein them in. Insteadthey become legendsthe vanguard of the rebelliousunruly modern media of today.SheehanBrowne and Halberstam each earned Pulitzer Prizes for their Vietnam coverage. 'Once Upon a Distant War' follows the correspondents through their brushes with the diabolical Dragon LadyMadame Nhu; their showdowns with John F. Kennedy Robert S. McNamara and a self-deluding American officialdom that saw victory around every corner.Prochnau's masterful book is a meticulous look at America as it stumbles blindly into the swamp.
