He's been called "the inventor of the New journalism---and possessor of the age's most distinctive prose style." Now in this original novella published to critical acclaim in Rolling Stone magazine, Tom Wolfe, author of the bestseller The Bonfire of the Vanities, turns his penetrating eye and devastating wit on the world of TV news.

As the producer of a prime-time TV newsmagazine, Irv Durtscher fancies himself the Federico Fillini of television journalism. For who else can draw 50 million viewers, satisfy the network's gluttony for profits, and advance the cause of social justice? The only problem is that no one else recognizes Irv's genius. Instead, all the accolades go to the blonde bombshell anchor who won't give balding, near-sighted Irv the time of day. But suddenly Irv has a chance to break the most sensational story of his career---one that will surely catapult him into the national spotlight and into Madame Bombshell's heart.

Ambush at Fort Bragg is classic Wolfe---a blistering send-up of one man's drive for fame and glory and the lengths to which the media will go to showcase their version of the truth.
