Not only was Vietnam America's longest war. It was also the most photographed. A veritable army of photographers from around the world focused their still, cinema and TV cameras on South and North Vietnam and showered many millions of images onto the public consciousness. Uninhibited by censorship and free to venture wherever their courage or their competitiveness took them, photographers covering the South Vietnamese and American side of the war compiled a visual record that is unprecedented for its breadth and candor. Among those who compiled that record were the more than 1,500 soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guardsmen adn airmen who were assigned the front and the rear as combat photographers. This book shows the war and the people and the country of Vietnam as they captured it on film.

Work Description
Combat Photographer shows you Vietnam in all its aspects through the lenses of the U.S. military photographers assigned to record the war on film. It draws exclusively on official military pictures to depict America's years in Vietnam, from the early sixties to 1975. The book's more than 200 photographs were taken by U.S. military photographers. Focusing on combat, the book presents some never-before-published battle sequences captured on film by photographers as near to the action as they could be.
