PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE ARMIES OF THE NIG...

October 21  1967  Washington  D.C. 20 000 to 200 000 protesters 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 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 mould 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.The Armies of the Night uniquely
and unforgettably captures the Sixties' tidal wave of love and rage at its crest and a towering
genius at his peak.
