Because his authoritative two-volume study, Public Affairs: The Military and the Media (1989, 1996) in the "United States Army in Vietnam" series is relatively inaccessible and over 1,000 pages in length, William M. Hammond has prepared "a synthesis and refinement" (p. ix) of the original work. He and the University Press of Kansas are to be commended for their unusual project, which makes available to many more readers this essential analysis of the troubled relationship between journalists and the government during the Vietnam War. Hammond has not merely cut and pasted. While following the outlines of the original work, he has written a new book that hangs together quite well. |
