Exhausted to the point of collapse by four days of fighting in the
southern tip of Vietnam, the strewn men look more like corpses than
soldiers. A widow crouches distraught over the remains of the husband
she identified from his teeth. And a young paratrooper sports a helmet
that says it all.
They are images that bear testimony not only to the gruelling
barbarity of the Vietnam War but also its chronicling by press
photographers whose work in the front lines of the south east Asian
jungle made the conflict the “last newspaper war”.
