Teaching Vietnam: Reflections beyond the Immediate.
Endres, William Bliss
English Journal, v73 n8 p28-30 Dec 1984
Deals with the complexity and moral ambiguity of the Vietnam War as reflected in American literature of that period, and with the use of that literature to help students undertand the conflict. Suggests three books: Philip Caputo's "A Rumor of War," James Webb's "Field of Fire," and Michael Herr's "Dispatches" as being particularly useful in this effort. (RBW)
