Summary: photographs from both sides
Comment: this is an incredible collection of photographs from the men and women photographers who shot for both sides of the war in vietnam. The text is brillantly written, the bio sections at the end is very in depth and the photographs are incredible. A masterful book.

Summary: Mind Blowing Photography.
Comment: The photographs in this book are absolutely mind blowing. They are a creditable testament to the memory of the incredibly brave and talented photographers who did not return from Vietnam and Indochina.

Some of the greatest photographers of all time are listed here. Some of their photographs have remained unseen for some 40 years.
Some of the photographs taken were the last visions seen by photographers who were actually killed whilst in the act of taking them.

The first hand reality of the 'at war' experience is brought home to the unitiated reader. To take these shots the photographers were of a necessity extremely close to the action and sometimes in the very midst of it. For their sacrifice in obtaining these images they lost their lives.

One can only sit back with awe at the scenes illustrated and wonder at the suffering, humanity & sometimes lack of it, that perpetuated these conflicts.

These photographers have done a great service in bringing home the reality of war to those who were not there. An amazing and fitting epitaph to those who fought, suffered and died on both sides.

Summary: Saw the exhibit of photos from the book in Ho Chi Minh City
Comment: My wife and I saw the photos from this excellent book at the War Crimes Museum in Ho Chi Minh City in February of 2001. Walked out into the street with tears streaming down our cheeks. Bought the book when we returned to the U.S. and cried again. Simple, evocative, and worth having in the permanent collection. Also, a must-have if you plan on reading The Cat From Hue.
