Search & Destroy

An Illustrated Guide to Vietnam War Movies

by

  • 2 Want to read

Search & Destroy contains illustrated essays on these and hundreds of other movies, ranging from the combat traumas graphically displayed in documentaries such as Army Medicine In Vietnam, to underground classics to the most garish exploitation movies and gun-fixated readneck trash. Search & Destroy is the ultimate guide to the cinematic legacy of Vietnam, a harrowing trip into the heart of darkness.
