Description of Pictures: Inside Media: A Photographic History of the Vietnam War
Hal Buell and Santiago Lyon
To cover the Vietnam War, the Associated Press gathered an extraordinary group of photojournalists in its Saigon bureau, creating one of the great photographic legacies of the 20th century.
The new book "Vietnam: The Real War" features 300 photographs that tell the story of the war that left a deep and lasting impression on American life.
AP photo director Santiago Lyon and former AP photo director Hal Buell will talk about the new book and discuss the photographic history of the Vietnam War, as well as the current state of war photography.
"Vietnam: The Real War" features more than 50 photojournalists, including Eddie Adams, Horst Faas, Henri Huet, Nick Ut and Dang Van Phuoc, and highlights the work of such distinguished war correspondents as Peter Arnett, Malcolm Browne and Seymour Topping. A chronological text that is woven throughout places their work in historical context.
A book signing will follow the event.
The moderator for the event was Frank Bond from the Newseum.

Nick Ut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huỳnh Công Út, known professionally as Nick Ut (born March 29, 1951), is a photographer for the Associated Press (AP) who works out of Los Angeles. He won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography for "The Terror of War", depicting children in flight from a napalm bombing. In particular, his best-known photo features a naked 9-year-old girl, Phan Thị Kim Phúc, running toward the camera from a South Vietnamese napalm attack on North Vietnamese troops at the Trảng Bàng village during the Vietnam War. On the 40th anniversary of that Pulitzer Prize-winning photo in September 2012, Ut became the third person inducted by the Leica Hall of Fame for his contributions to photojournalism.
