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.
