Hardcover. Cambridge MA, Da Capo Press, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 276 pages, b&w illustrations. In 1971, as US forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos & exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers: Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of AP, Kent Potter of UPInternational, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The remoteness of the crash site made a recovery attempt impossible. A story of four combat photographers who died in indochina--and the two journalists who kept their memory alive. Clean copy.
