During the next thirty years what started out as a distant colonial war grew into the principle military struggle of the Cold War. The whole time, the Associated Press was on the ground writing stories and taking photos. To do this, the AP hired and cultivated the best photojournalists of the era."Vietnam: The Real War" is a photographic history of the conflict. Most of the photos come from AP's archive but when necessary the editors have included photos from non-AP sources. The text lightly covers the history of the war. Its real strength is telling the stories of the AP photographers and journalists. These are the stories of the intrepid journalists who brought the war to the world's newspapers and magazines.The "Golden Age" of photographic journalism is often seen as having taken place during the Spanish Civil War and Second World War. A whole cottage industry has arisen to chronicle the works of the great Magnum photographers, Robert Capa, David Seymour and George Rodgers. The photographic history of the Korean and Vietnam wars have never generated the same interest among historians and authors. Perhaps this is because of our nation's more troubled relationship with these conflicts. Neither the Korean nor the Vietnam War were ever considered "Good Wars" fought by a "Greatest Generation."It is unfortunate that the great photojournalists of the Vietnam War never received the recognition they were due. "Vietnam: The Read War" is a collection of extraordinary photographs that move way beyond merely documenting the horrors of war. There are beautifully composed images that leave the world of illustration and enter the realm of fine art. Those images say as much about the insanity of war as any work by Goya. This is a great book that will be enjoyed by people interested in both history and photography. Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The real Vietnam *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022* Information ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixed Feelings *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013* Upon receiving this today, I had to put it down after just a few minutes because the anger returned looking at these pictures, which rival Matthew Brady's portrayal of the US Civil War in my book as the best photojournalism of war.But after gathering myself and reopening these pages, I feel tearful sorrow.The photos - some searingly graphic, such as the bodies of North Vietnamese dragged to a site for mass burial, others heart rending, including a woman who has just discovered the body of her husband - are grouped into seven chronological chapters, an introduction by Pete Hamill, and an Epilogue. Tet gets its own chapter.Some of the photos of the action, particularly skies filled with menacing choppers, are mind boggling. One photo shows a line of choppers laying machine gun fire into woods surrounding a landing site. Another shows choppers on the ground to the horizon with waves more arriving.There's a sense of hopelessness to US soldiers in the jungle, often waiting for a medivac, sometimes standing beside a wounded comrade, sometimes next to a body bag.Mostly, there is great suffering.This is a book I will keep at hand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/6319174-vietnam-the-real-war-a-photographic-history-by-the-associated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/6319174-vietnam-the-real-war-a-photographic-history-by-the-associated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
