Larry Burrows: Vietnamby Larry Burrows
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the earliest stage of the Vietnam War in 1962 until his helicopter was shot down, photographer Larry Burrows captured, indelibly, the fury of the fighting and the courage and suffering of both troops and civilians. This volume magnificently reproduces Burrows' most powerful and influential photo essays that are brutal, poignant, and utterly truthful. Review:"The most powerful work here is in black and white. "One Ride with Yankee Papa 13," which follows a 21-year-old helicopter gunner's first encounter with heavy enemy fire, can't be scanned without being overwhelmed by pity and terror; it may be the greatest photo-essay ever made." Ray Olson, Booklist Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. 224-225).
