This volume honors those who experienced the Vietnam War through striking portraits and personal accounts of the conflict and its repercussions.
This book offers a uniquely human perspective on the Vietnam War through portraits and stories of American veterans, southern Vietnamese veterans, and civilians. The surreal imagery of Thomas Sanders' photography encourages the viewer to take a closer look at those who experienced the war. These images are paired with the individuals' haunting, inspirational, and sometimes comical stories of the war.
Set in a surreal jungle environment, the portraits evoke the sense of darkness and uncertainty felt by those who experienced the war. Some portrait subjects hold objects that evoke their time of service: the common cigarette pack smoked by the vets while in the jungle; a homemade grenade made by the northern Vietnamese; and the "order to report" document that changed many a life.
