One day a letter came from a British publisher asking him to do a book whose working title would be “Through the War” and whose purpose would be to once and for all “take the glamour out of war.” Page couldn’t get over it.
“Take the glamour out of war! I mean, how the bloody hell can you do that? Go and take the glamour out of a Huey, go take the glamour out of a Sheridan . . . Can you take the glamour out of a Cobra or getting stoned at China Beach? It’s like taking the glamour out of an M—79, taking the glamour out of Flynn.” He was pointing to a picture he had taken of Flynn52 laughing maniacally. (“We’re winning,” he’d said, triumphantly.) “Nothing the matter with that boy, is there? Would you let your daughter marry that man? Ohhhh, war is good for you, you can’t take the glamour out of that. It’s like trying to take the glamour out of sex, trying to take the glamour out of the Rolling Stones.” He was really speechless, working his hands up and down to emphasize the sheer insanity of it.
“I mean you know that, it just can’t be done!” We both shrugged and laughed, and Page looked very thoughtful for a moment. “The very idea!” he said. “Ohhh what a laugh! Take the bloody glamour out of bloody war!”53
