The place is Washington, D.C. Depending on the paper you read, 20,000 to 200,000 protestors are marching to end the war in Vietnam, while helicopters hover overhead and federal marshals and soldiers with fixed bayonets await them on the Pentagon steps. Among the marchers is a writer named Norman Mailer. From his own singular participation in the day's events and his even more extraordinary perceptions comes a classic work that shatters the mold of traditional reportage. Intellectuals and hippies, clergymen and cops, poets and army MPs crowd the pages of a book in which facts are fused with techniques of fiction to create the nerve-end reality of experiential truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"[Mailer's] genuine wit and bellicose charm, and his fervent and intense sense of legitimately caring, render \u003ci\u003eThe Armies of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e an artful document, worthy to be judged as literature.\"--\u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"Only a born novelist could have written a piece of history so intelligent, mischievous, penetrating and alive.\"--Alfred Kazin, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Plume","offers":[{"title":"The Armies of the Night | Norman Mailer | Paperback | 9780452272798 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1764102","offer_id":49287713947800,"sku":"1764102","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71pK7Dp72EL_5260e386-5b35-40ba-8297-7e5073367f77.jpg?v=1781897680","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-armies-of-the-night-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
