I started thinking about writing this book as a memoir of my experience as a young soldier in the Vietnam War, beginning in November, 1967 until November, 1968. It was to have been an effort to relate to my family, especially to my children, what it was like to have fought during the war.As I started trying to recall my experiences, I found that I could remember only a few scattered details. Somehow, it seems as if my entire life can be encapsulated in just a few memorable snapshots in a photograph album. So, the book became not only a memoir of war, but, a memoir of my life, and a reflection upon the war; my thoughts and feelings about what was going on, during the war; my life after the war; and how the two would became inseparable. I hope that in my doing so that those, who read this account, may understand a little bit better how my entire life, and perhaps that of my comrades, was influenced by events of that one year in Vietnam, in service to my country.

Marsh shows the war through these literary photos that are both poetic and profound in their brevity and simplicity. Each piece captures a scene, and when put all together the book as a whole shows a young man falling apart as he is broken physically and mentally.Thirty-five years after returning from the war, Marsh begins to heal by writing down these images that have haunted him all these years. And the reader is also healed in the process.

Like thousands of young men before and after him, in 1967 at just nineteen years old, Ron Copeland was drafted into the US Army, trained as an infantry soldier, and shipped off to Vietnam. He spent the next year of his life immersed in the fear, fatigue, tedium, and moral ambiguity that comes with life in a combat zone, while forming deep bonds with his fellow soldiers. Contrary to the losers, addicts, and crazed baby killers that Vietnam veterans have been portrayed to be, Ron found them to be "good boys from every corner of our country, black and white, rich and poor, who did as we were told, the best job we could." From Ron's point of view, he and his fellow soldiers were sons of the "greatest generation," who wanted only to honor their fathers by answering their nation's call, just like their fathers did in World War II. As a soldier with the First Cavalry Division, Ron participated in some of the most pivotal conflicts of the war, including the Tet Offensive and the siege of Khe Sanh. He wrote this book not only as a memoir of his experience but also as an effort to set the record straight concerning the true character of his fellow soldiers. Packed with photos and personal stories, Sons of the Greatest Generation is a fascinating firstperson account of the Vietnam conflict.

In Warring Visions, Thy Phu explores photography from dispersed communities throughout Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora, both during and after the Vietnam War, to complicate narratives of conflict and memory. While the visual history of the Vietnam War has been dominated by American documentaries and war photography, Phu turns to photographs circulated by the Vietnamese themselves, capturing a range of subjects, occasions, and perspectives. Phu's concept of warring visions refers to contrasts in the use of war photos in North Vietnam, which highlighted national liberation and aligned themselves with an international audience, and those in South Vietnam, which focused on family and everyday survival. Phu also uses warring visions to enlarge the category of war photography, a genre that usually consists of images illustrating the immediacy of combat and the spectacle of violence, pain, and wounded bodies. She pushes this genre beyond such definitions by analyzing pictures of family life, weddings, and other quotidian scenes of life during the war. Phu thus expands our understanding of how war is waged, experienced, and resolved.

Early Photography in Vietnam is a fascinating and outstanding pictorial record of photography in Vietnam during the century of French rule. In more than 500 photographs, many published here for the first time, the volume records Vietnam's capture and occupation by the French, the wide-ranging ethnicities and cultures of Vietnam, the country's fierce resistance to foreign rule, leading to the reassertion of its own identity and subsequent independence. This benchmark volume also includes a chronology of photography (1845-1954), an index of more than 240 photographers and studios in the same period, appendixes focusing on postcards, royal photographic portraits, Cartes de Visite and Cabinet Cards, as well as a select bibliography and list of illustrations.

In 2014, Udden decided to add captions to the snapshots he took in Vietnam in 1970. That effort morphed into his memoir, 21 MONTHS, 24 DAYS. So, he began again to finish captioning his pictures. The result is this book. Soldiers that carried a camera in Vietnam took pictures of each other and then passed the camera to get a picture of themselves. Udden also took snapshots of the land, the people of Vietnam, artillery, helicopters, planes and anything else that caught his eye through the lens. He used a Kodak Instamatic Camera instead of a 35mm because he needed something tough that would survive getting banged around in an ammo can at the bottom of his pack. So, though the images are unique and the colors amazing, he apologizes that some are not focused to a pinpoint. I hope you enjoy what you see. If you want to know the stories that fit between these captured moments, I would suggest you read his memoir.

Vietnamese Americans have transformed the social, cultural, economic, and political life of Orange County, California. Previously, there were Vietnamese international students, international or war brides, or military personnel living in the United States, but the majority arrived as refugees and immigrants after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Although they are lumped together as "refugees," Vietnamese Americans are diverse in terms of their class, ethnic, regional, religious, linguistic, and ideological backgrounds. Their migration path varied, and they often struggled with resettling in a new homeland and rebuilding their lives. They are dispersed throughout the country, but many are concentrated in central Orange County, where three cities--Westminster, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana--have "Welcome to Little Saigon" signs. They constitute the largest population of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam and have created flourishing residential neighborhoods and bustling commercial centers and contribute to the political and cultural life of the region. This book captures snapshots of Vietnamese life in Orange County over the span of 40 years and shows a dynamic, vibrant community that is revitalizing the region.

Images of a Lengthy War makes available for study and reference some of the important photographs of the Vietnam War, accompanied by brief narrative. The volume covers the three decades of the Army2s experience in Vietnam, from the early years of advice and support to the French government through active intervention with combat forces and gradual withdrawal. Many of the photographs were selected to show the complex nature of the war, in particular demands of conducting counterguerrilla operations while undertaking conventional campaigns against enemy regulars. While the focus of the work is the American military, policy decisions in Washington and political developments in Vietnam are also amply illustrated to place the war in context. As a unique form of evidence, the photographs are a valuable resource in recalling the look of Vietnam.
