Hang back, and you don't get the picture. Get too close, and you won't be alive to take it...The old hands were full of advice like that. They'd seen everything that battlegrounds from Vietnam to Beirut had to offer. Sure, they'd get their editors all the bang-bang shots they wanted - but they'd get them from a hundred yards away, shooting through lenses the size of mortars. Staying alive was the name of the game. DelCorso was different. He'd get in close, jamming his camera right in among the dead and the dying and the blood and the bullets. He shot film like there was no tomorrow and very little left of today. DelCorso wanted to wage war on war itself, and his cameras were his weapons. The only question was, how long had he got before he was on the front page himself, just another victim in just another war?

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. 372 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Sphere, UK, 1985. Reprint. *** CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: A classic novel of Vietnam and its aftermath from Philip Caputo, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir A Rumor of War"is widely considered among the best ever written about the experience of war. At thirty-three, Nick DelCorso is an award-winning war photographer who has seen action and dodged bullets all over the world-most notably in Vietnam, where he served as an Army photographer and recorded combat scenes whose horrors have not yet faded in his memory. When he is called back to Vietnam on assignment during a North Vietnamese attempt to take Saigon, he is faced with a defining choice: should he honor the commitment he has made to his wife not to place himself in any more danger for the sake of his career, or follow his ambition back to the war-torn land that still haunts his dreams? What follows is a riveting story of war on two fronts, Saigon and Beirut, that will test DelCorso's faith not only in himself, but in the nobler instincts of men. *** Quantity Available: 1.
