“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.” --President Richard M. Nixon, 1985

President George H.W. Bush

"When people think of historic events, they don't usually remember the words … they remember the images. One photo may not tell us the entire truth, but it gives us a piece of the truth … a glimpse of history, and that's important work."

Sudan Famine: 1994• This photo is the "Pulitzer Prize" winning photo depicting

a famine stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp, located a kilometer (0.6 miles) away.

• The vulture is waiting for the child to die so it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, not even the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

• Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

Here's the second flag raising as seen in the the most reproduced photograph in the history of photography.

• Of the six men depicted in the picture, three (Franklin Sousley, Harlon Block, and Michael Strank) were killed during the battle; the three survivors (John Bradley, Rene Gagnon, and Ira Hayes) became celebrities upon their identification in the photo. The picture was later used by Felix de Weldon to sculpt the USMC War Memorial, located adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery just outside Washington, D.C.

"In that moment, Rosenthal's camera recorded the soul of a nation."

. . .Editors of US Camera Magazine.

"It was like shooting a football game. You never knew what you got on film."

. . . Joe Rosenthal, Photographer

• The Blunt Reality of War in VietnamIt was perhaps the most controversial cover for LIFE magazine, which usually steered clear of controversy. Paul Schutzers captured this image of a VietCong prisoner gagged and bound, being taken prisoner by American forces during the Vietnam War. Photography and news coverage like this helped to turn the American public against the Vietnam war.

The photo is known by at least 3 well known titles: “Terror of War,” “Vietnam Napalm,” and “Children Fleeing an American Napalm Strike.” All the titles invite multiple, different, and worthwhile interpretations of the image.
