The Associated Press made an unprecedented commitment to reporting the conflict: It gathered an extraordinary group of superb photojournalists in its Saigon bureau and these men created one of the great photographic legacies of the twentieth century. Collected here are images that tell the human story of the Vietnam War, as we watch the American presence in the war swell from a trickle of military advisers in the late 1950s, through dramatic operations involving thousands of soldiers in the 1960s, to the fall of Saigon in 1975. These are pictures that both recorded and made history, taken by unbelievably courageous photojournalists. In a moving essay, writer Pete Hamill, who reported from Vietnam in 1965, celebrates their achievement, focusing on five masters who took many of the photographs in the book: Horst Faas, Henri Huet, Eddie Adams, Nick Ut, and Phuoc Van Dang.

More than 700 impressive photographs and detailed text on Zippo lighters, their history and current value, as well as the Vietnam War, make up this important new book. Featuring not only photographs of both genuine and counterfeit Zippos and the factory's own artwork, it also provides a brief outline of the war, lists the names of American and Vietnamese ships and boats that served in Vietnam, definitions of naval acronyms, South Vietnamese waterways and geographical names, Allied troops in the country, and a comprehensive glossary with translations of important Vietnamese military terms so that old Zippo lighters can be interpreted today. Exceptionally, this book has tremendous appeal to an extremely wide audience. Lighter collectors will find a wide variety of rare and common Zippos. Photographers and artists interested in the Vietnam War and its images will see impressive action photographs. Collectors and historians of the Vietnam War and the military in general will find factual information organized in a quickly accessible format. Hardcover.
