Live from the Battlefield by Peter Arnett

Live from the Battlefield by Peter Arnett

From his controversial coverage of Vietnam, which incurred the wrath of President Johnson but won him a Pulitzer Prize, to his unforgettable and daring on-the-ground reporting of the Gulf War during one of the greatest airborne assaults in history, Peter Arnett has established himself as the leading voice of American war reportage. In Live from the Battlefield, one of the most highly celebrated journalistic memoirs ever written, Peter Arnett gives us an engrossing account of the Vietnam era, as well as an indispensable portrait of battlefield reporting.

Live from the Battlefield captures the adventures, gambles, and glories that have marked this master journalist's life with a vividness and intelligence rare in any memoir. But more than that, Arnett provides an insider's view of some of the greatest and most tragic events of the century in a book of singular and enduring importance.

Peter Arnett started as an intern at his local newspaper at age 18, which inspired him to become an international journalist. Less than a decade later, he was traveling the globe for The Associated Press, the first of several major American news organizations he would work for during his career. In 1966 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Vietnam War. Arnett joined CNN in the early 1980s, earning a television Emmy for his live television coverage of the first Gulf War in 1991. Born in New Zealand in 1934, Arnett later became an American citizen and currently resides in Fountain Valley, CA.
