Vietnam

From the earliest stage of the Vietnam War in 1962 until his helicopter was shot down on the Vietnam-Laos border in 1971, the intrepid photographer Larry Burrows captured, indelibly, the fury of the fighting and the courage and suffering of both troops and civilians. Published in Life magazine in the form of photographic essays, his images scorched the consciousness of the American people. To see them again, gathered in one volume, is to revisit, with extraordinary immediacy, the horrific costs of war.
