Well worth the price and well worth reading
An Excellent and Interesting Issue of TIME MAGAZINE. This is a SPECIAL ISSUE -- and it offers an UNUSUAL and FASCINATING ARRAY of ARCHIVAL COLOUR IMAGES outlining the RISE and FALL of one of America's most controversial Chief Executives.
The issue is also extremely well written, well researched and its content is compelling in both its detail and literary style.

The Vietnam War: Text and Imagery
1 of 1 found this helpful A very good book, although one in which the TEXT, rather than the IMAGES, is dominant. The insights provided are fresh and at times compelling. The text offers a comprehensive, detailed and chronologically segmented account of the Vietnam conflict from its inception during the late 40's up to and including the fall of Saigon , 30 years later (April 1975).
Although the text is adequate and informative, the imagery and print quality of same sometimes leave a lot to be desired. All of the images taken in Vietnam were taken using Film cameras -- and sometimes this can lead to problems for contemporary (i.e digital) technology when it comes to printing film photos in high definition. A number of the colour images in this book are marred by poor print quality, and quite a number of them have rudimentary captions to them which do little beyond frustrate because better information was not provided. A disproportionately high number of the photos are black and white, and page after page of monochrome imagery can become visually monotonous.
I would recommend this book for its TEXT, but NOT for the quality of its imagery. There is a very long and detailed bibliography at the back of the book, together with the listing of photographers whose work is used to illustrate the book. For those wanting to buy the book, it might be more appropriate to view it first before buying, so that you are sure that what you purchase is what you wanted.

Well worth buying and well worth reading
A well illustrated and well-written book. Some of the photographers were FAMOUS LIFE MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHERS (LARRY BURROWS & CO RENTMEESTER)
The material is well presented and the copious illustrations illuminate an informative text
