No markings, Fine in unclipped Fine (-) dust jacket with very light rubbing to the high parts of the back panel of the DJ. Hardcover, 336pp, mostly B&W photos augmented with some colour photos from 135 photographers who lost their lives in the conflic…t. The list of the dead includes some of the greatest photographers of the century, such as Robert Capa and Larry Burrows, and some who had been working in Vietnam for only a matter of days before their deaths. A number of the Cambodian photographers working for the Western press were executed. Other photographers, like Sean Flynn and Dana Stone, disappeared. Their loss inspired Tim Page to begin this memorial. The resulting sequence of photographs follows the course of the war and the transformation of the serene landscapes of Cambodia and Vietnam into scenes of nightmarish devastation. At the moments of intense battle one is reminded not only of the courage of the photographers but of the compassion amid the brutality of war. (5.5 JM HOZ 403/3 Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
