John Laurence is an American broadcast journalist who chronicled the Vietnam War for CBS News. Laurence documented his experiences in a 2002 book, ?The Cat from Hue?. In it, he provides depictions of the U.S. Army, Marines and South Vietnamese Army in action in the American war’s early days (1965-1966), at its height (in 1968) and during the 1970 Cambodian incursion. Laurence and his crew specialized in covering the war on the front lines. For instance, he portrays the bloody 1968 battle of Hue which Laurence accurately calls an “urban brawl between two armed and largely adolescent tribes, a street fight of fast action and merciless bloodletting”.
