The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, the Novel as History (Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award Winner)
- The Armies of the Night By Mailer Norman
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Winner of the National Book Award

This classic of "new journalism" daringly combines reportage with a novelistic style.

Armies of the Night centers on the March on the Pentagon, the most famous anti-Vietnam War rally in Washington DC, and the characters that occupy this oppositionâ€”the intellectuals, students, African Americans, liberals, and marching women. Mailer, a novelist-as-character, sculpts this impressionably fragile world of the Left versus Authority and Peace versus War, prodding at the Vietnam generationâ€™s deepest anxieties.
Â
In the same way Truman Capote's In Cold Blood introduced the "non-fiction novel," Armies of the Night renders this form, with turns historical and fictional.
