Book excerpt: Between the French Indochina war of the fifties and the fall of Phnom Penn and Saigon in 1975, 134 photographers from different nations were killed. Horst Faas, two-times Pullitzer Prize winner and Chief Photographer for The Associated Press in Saigon at the height of the war, and Tim Page, another veteran who had been badly wounded, have gathered many thousands of photos from the Western agencies and from archives in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These have now been assembled to form both a monument to the dead and a record of the most terrifying war photography ever taken. Never again will the media have the kind of access to the war zone that was offered to the photographers in Vietnam. In many cases the photographers tried to get as close as possible, then paid the price.

Book Synopsis Close-Up on War by : Mary Cronk Farrell
Download or read book Close-Up on War written by Mary Cronk Farrell and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible story of Catherine Leroy, one of the few woman photographers during the Vietnam War, told by an award-winning journalist and children’s author From award-winning journalist and children’s book author Mary Cronk Farrell comes the inspiring and fascinating story of the woman who gave a human face to the Vietnam War. Close-Up on War tells the story of French-born Catherine Leroy, one of the war’s few woman photographers, who documented some of the fiercest fighting in the 20-year conflict. Although she had no formal photographic training and had never traveled more than a few hundred miles from Paris before, Leroy left home at age 21 to travel to Vietnam and document the faces of war. Despite being told that women didn't belong in a “man’s world,” she was cool under fire, gravitated toward the thickest battles, went along on the soldiers’ slogs through the heat and mud of the jungle, crawled through rice paddies, and became the only official photojournalist to parachute into combat with American soldiers. Leroy took striking photos that gave America no choice but to look at the realities of war—showing what it did to people on both sides—from wounded soldiers to civilian casualties. Later, Leroy was gravely wounded from shrapnel, but that didn’t keep her down more than a month. When captured by the North Vietnamese in 1968, she talked herself free after photographing her captors, scoring a cover story in Life magazine. A recipient of the George Polk Award, one of the most prestigious awards in journalism, Leroy was one of the most well-known photographers in the world during her time, and her legacy of bravery and compassion endures today. Farrell interviewed people who knew Leroy, as well as military personnel and other journalists who covered the war. In addition to a foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Peter Arnot, the book includes a preface, author’s note, endnotes, bibliography, timeline, and index.

Book excerpt: A new edition of this classic illustrated history of the operations and operatives of MACV-SOG in the Vietnam War.

Book Synopsis Nam, A Photographic History by : Gregory Louis Mattson
Download or read book Nam, A Photographic History written by Gregory Louis Mattson and published by . This book was released on with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both military and press photographers as well as soldiers and civilians recorded on film the harrowing events of the Vietnam War. From French Indochina to the fall of Saigon and on to the war's aftermath, from casualties to prisoners to protestors back home, NAM features the images and stories that document this important era. With 700 fully captioned images supported by an expert historical account of the course of the war, this wide-ranging book provides an unflinching portrait of the longest conflict ever fought by U.S. armed forces. The Vietnam War is without doubt one of the most significant events in the history of the United States. It remains the longest conflict ever fought by the U.S. armed forces and the longest war in modern history. More than 50,000 U.S. servicemen lost their lives during the struggle in Southeast Asia, but numbers alone cannot convey the impact of the war on the world's most powerful democracy. The tensions it created and the passions it unleashed threatened to tear the fabric of U.S. society asunder. The war shattered one president's dreams of a new society and destroyed the career of another. Carefully researched, minutely detailed, illustrated with hundreds of historical photographs, many in color, and with maps by the celebrated military cartographer Richard Natkiel, NAM: A Photographic History is both a fascinating recapitulation of the war, exactly as the world experienced it, and an important work of reference for laymen and scholars alike.
