Overview

From The Green Berets to Apocalypse Now and Platoon, the cinematic legacy of the Vietnam War is vast, intense and now, for the first time, is documented as a single genre, in one single volume.

Search & Destroy contains illustrated essays covering over 300 movies, including documentaries. It examines some of the most controversial and psychotic characters in cinematic history, such as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, Dennis Hopper in Tracks and Sylvester Stallone in First Blood. From the brutal field of combat, to the flashbacks and demons that followed, Search & Destroy examines the cult classics through to the most recent Vietnam movies, still breaking box-office records today.
