REQUIEM BY PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO DIED IN V: By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina (FONDO) - Tapa dura

Between the French Indochina war of the fifties and the fall of Phnom Penn and Saigon in 1975, 134 photographers from different nations were killed. Horst Faas, two-times Pullitzer Prize winner and Chief Photographer for The Associated Press in Saigon at the height of the war, and Tim Page, another veteran who had been badly wounded, have gathered many thousands of photos from the Western agencies and from archives in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These have now been assembled to form both a monument to the dead and a record of the most terrifying war photography ever taken. Never again will the media have the kind of access to the war zone that was offered to the photographers in Vietnam. In many cases the photographers tried to get as close as possible, then paid the price.

Horst Faas is a two-times Pullitzer Prize winner and was Chief Photographer for The Associated Press in Saigon at the height of the Vietnam War. Tim Page was another war veteran, badly wounded during the war. Together they assembled photographs taken during the war, published in Vietnam Requiem, in memory of the photographers who died during the conflict.
