Shooting Vietnam

“I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone who wishes to see the Vietnam War from so many viewpoints that it will make you question what you thought you knew.”– “Armorama””…an extraordinary, profusely illustrated, and inherently fascinating read from first page to last. “– “Midwest Book Review”“His spellbinding stories and photographs are the best part of the book. They raised question after question in my mind. His analyses of the Pacification and Phoenix programs thoroughly exemplify the misdirection and futility of the war”– “The VVA Veteran”“The combat photographers whose stories are told in this book occupy a unique place in the history of the war, both chronicling and participating in some of the major actions of the war while trying to capture the essence of life for the average GI.”– “New York Journal of Books”“The photography is excellent and this all adds to a book that is an essential read to anyone interested in the Vietnam War or conflict photography in general.”– “War History Online”ranked #1 on Book Authority’s “20 Vietnam War Books to Read in 2020” list– “Book Authority”
