About the Author
Eddie Adams, winner of the 1969 Pulitzer Prize and recipient of more than 500 international, national, and local awards, is one of the most decorated and published photographers in America today. Adams's photographs have been seen on the covers and front pages of international publications including Time, Newsweek,New York Times, Stern, Paris Match, Parade, Vanity Fair, Life, and London Sunday Times. His portraits include leaders world wide from presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, Reagan, and Clinton to more than fifty heads of states, including Fidel Castro, François Mitterand, the Shah of Iran, Indira Gandhi, King Hussein of Jordan, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Yitzhak Rabin, Pope John Paul, and Deng Xiao-Ping of China. But Adams's earliest pictures, and those for which he is canonized in photographic history, stem from his coverage of the ravages of thirteen wars. In Vietnam he went on more than 150 operations. In 1968 he photographed the indelible picture of the Saigon police chief shooting a Vietcong prisoner at point-blank range, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize. In 1977 his photographs of the boat people escaping Vietnam contributed to Congress's decision to admit 200,000 Vietnamese to America.
