An eloquent and attractive statement of what Vietnam was like for the men who fought there and the people who live there.
Here is the war machine —the places, the tanks, the guns— drawn in fine line and with perfect detail. The soldiers —Marines and airmen— American and Vietnamese— seen as they were, crouching in the jungle, relaxing, or warily skirting ambush. Civilians at work —the old men, women, and young children— their faces fearful, happy, filled with poignancy— photographed or drawn so that each expression evokes an immediate response.
The illustrations are put into the context of the war with brief captions. Text and pictures come together to complement and highlight all that has previously been written about Vietnam. But the war itself is only one aspect of the story told here. Beyond that Visions of Vietnam is a distinguished work of art, universal and timeless. —From the foreword by Shelby Stanton, Captain, U.S. Army (Ret.), and author of Vietnam Order of Battle.
