Download or read book Shooting Vietnam written by Dan Brookes and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover what it was like to be amidst the action as a military photographer during the Vietnam War. Shooting Vietnam takes you there as you read the firsthand accounts and view the hundreds of photographs by men who lived the war through the lens of a camera. From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, they documented everything from the horror of combat to the people and culture of a land they suddenly found themselves immersed in. Some juggled cameras with weapons as they fought to survive while carrying out their assignments to record the war. Others did not survive. Shooting Vietnam also finally brings recognition to these unheralded military combat photographers in Vietnam that documented the brutal, unpopular, and futile war. Often, during a brief respite from trudging through swamps and rice paddies or jumping from a chopper into a hot landing zone, the photographers would wander the streets of villages or even downtown Saigon, curiously photographing a people and a culture so strange and different to them. It is these photographs, of a kinder, more personal nature, removed from the horror and death of war that they also share with the reader. The accounts in this book come from young men thrust into a conflict half way around the world, and all who had their own unique perspective on the war. Some were seasoned photographers before the military, others had only recently held a camera for the first time. “The photography is excellent . . . an essential read to anyone interested in the Vietnam War or conflict photography in general.” —War History Online
Book Synopsis Just a Sailor by : Steven L. Waterman
Download or read book Just a Sailor written by Steven L. Waterman and published by Findtech Limited. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EYES UNDER THE WATER When Steve Waterman left home in 1964, he was looking for the most exciting job the U.S. Navy had to offer. So Waterman became an underwater photographer, joining an elite group that numbered only fifteen men in the entire navy--men always on call for unusual and interesting assignments. Yet it was the time Waterman spent in Vietnam with Underwater Demolition Team 13 that deserves special respect. Existing in a state of adrenaline driven alertness, UDT-13 men carried out their harrowing missions. Stealthily, silently, they crept through Vietnam's waterways, never knowing if the next bend in the river concealed VC patiently waiting to spring a fiery, murderous ambush. Employing the wit and unvarnished honesty that got him into trouble more than once during his thirteen years in the navy, Waterman unfolds a compelling tale of an ordinary sailor who chose to serve his country during one of the most controversial, challenging times in its history.

Book Synopsis Vietnam War Portraits by : Thomas Sanders
Download or read book Vietnam War Portraits written by Thomas Sanders and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume honors those who experienced the Vietnam War through striking portraits and personal accounts of the conflict and its repercussions. This book offers a uniquely human perspective on the Vietnam War through portraits and stories of American veterans, southern Vietnamese veterans, and civilians. The surreal imagery of Thomas Sanders’ photography encourages the viewer to take a closer look at those who experienced the war. These images are paired with the individuals’ haunting, inspirational, and sometimes comical stories of the war. Set in a surreal jungle environment, the portraits evoke the sense of darkness and uncertainty felt by those who experienced the war. Some portrait subjects hold objects that evoke their time of service: the common cigarette pack smoked by the vets while in the jungle; a homemade grenade made by the northern Vietnamese; and the “order to report” document that changed many a life.

Book Synopsis 1000 Yard Stare by : Marc Waszkiewicz
Download or read book 1000 Yard Stare written by Marc Waszkiewicz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grunt’s-eye view of the Vietnam War through hundreds of personal photos Marc Waszkiewicz served three tours (1967, 1968, 1969) as an artillery forward observer with the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam, where he took thousands of photos capturing the beauty, drudgery, hilarity, and horror of the war. 1,000-Yard Stare collects the best of these in a book that presents an unvarnished grunt’s-eye view of the Vietnam War. These are amazing, well-shot photos--most of them color, many of them truly arresting--of Marines in the field, in camp, on base, fighting, patrolling, writing, drinking, carrying on. Some have the feeling of candid snapshots while others are more composed (Waszkiewicz was, and is, an amateur photographer), with subjects ranging from a gunner calculating ranges with pencil and protractor and a chaplain conducting a battlefield mass to grunts smoking illicit substances while pretending to fish and images of barbed wire twisting in the jungle and watchtowers at twilight. Also included are photographs from Waszkiewicz’s postwar decades of coming to terms with his experiences, such as a sequence of poignant photos from The Wall in Washington and his trip back to Vietnam. This is a visual memoir of the war.
Book Synopsis Saying Goodbye to Vietnam by : Ken Williamson
Download or read book Saying Goodbye to Vietnam written by Ken Williamson and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Williamson's Saying Goodbye to Vietnam is an engrossing journey through recent history based on his personal experiences in that war-torn land. As a US Army photographer, his eye for poetic beauty infuses the powerful and sometimes haunting images he created there. Beyond the photographs, his eloquent description of that time and place relies heavily on excerpts from hundreds of personal letters to and from his wife back home. Williamson's approach is possibly unique in telling the story of this war. His book is a very good read that brings another and personal perspective to this troubled time. Saying Goodbye To Vietnam is 384 pages and contains over 400 original photographs and 65,000 words. The historical significance of this body of work cannot be overlooked.

This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When American soldiers returned home from Vietnam, most put their memories away. Decades later, North Carolina veterans contributed thousands of dusty and faded personal photographs to what started as a class project at the Sawtooth School for Visual Art in Winston-Salem. It evolved into a national traveling exhibition and then a permanent collection of the North Carolina Museum of History called "A Thousand Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans." For many of these men and women, this was their first opportunity to show what they couldn't say. Photographer and Vietnam-era vet Martin Tucker presents selected glimpses of those unforgettable experiences.
Book Synopsis Eyes of the Fleet Over Vietnam by : Kenneth V. Jack
Download or read book Eyes of the Fleet Over Vietnam written by Kenneth V. Jack and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This military study of the air war in Vietnam offers a vividly detailed examination of the critical role played by unarmed photo recon aircraft. While photo reconnaissance was a critical factor in the Vietnam War, its methods and operations remained a classified secret for many years. In Eyes of the Fleet Over Vietnam, veteran and historian Kenneth V. Jack sheds light on the subject by examining the role of the unarmed supersonic RF-8A/G photo-Crusader throughout the war, as well as the part played by its F-8 and F-4 escort fighters. The historical narrative is brought to life through vivid first-hand details of dangerous missions over Laos and North Vietnam. Jack pieces together a detailed chronology of photo recon in the Vietnam War between 1964 and 1972, describing all types of missions, including several Crusader vs. MiG dogfights and multiple RF-8 shootdowns with their associated, dramatic rescues. The narrative focuses on Navy Photo Squadron VFP-63, but also dedicates chapters to VFP-62 and Marine VMCJ-1.
