I’ve finally started Dispatches by Michael Herr whilst lounging in Italy. I’m only 5 pages in and I feel like I’m there. The smells, the sounds and silence. Also a lot of death or eminent death.
One of the top books that give a real impression of the insanity of war. The Vietnam helicopter pilot one mentioned upthread, and the junior officers reading club are two that sit alongside it
