Title: pictures are worth a thousand words
Review: Fantastic photo book by Larry Burrows covering some aspects of the Viet Nam war. Unreal to believe a person could be in these situations and squeeze off any coherent photos at all. Brief descriptions before certain sections as to the appropriate time period and context of said photos. The depth of emotion captured by these photos has to be seen. For those who were alive during this conflict and witnessed the daily tv coverage of this war, this book is a must. This was before the days of the "embedded" photojournalists and the censored views of the current conflicts we are allowed to view. Perhaps if we had people like Burrows, who were allowed to photograph the actual hostilities we are currently involved in we would have less public support for our incursions. Powerful book. Burrows gave his life for us to know. Incredible.
