520    What was it like to be a military combat photographer in 
       the most photographed war in history the Vietnam War? 
       Cameras, Combat, and Courage , a companion volume to 
       "Shooting Vietnam", takes you there as you read the 
       firsthand accounts and view the hundreds of photographs by
       men who lived the war through the lens of a camera. They 
       documented everything from the horror of combat to the 
       people and culture of a land they suddenly found 
       themselves immersed in. Some even juggled cameras with 
       rifles and grenade launchers as they fought to survive 
       while carrying out their assignments to record the war. 
       Cameras, Combat, and Courage also finally brings 
       recognition to these unheralded military combat 
       photographers in Vietnam that documented the brutal, 
       unpopular, and futile war. Firsthand accounts and 
       photographs by military photographers in Vietnam from the 
       mid-1960s to the early 1970s, Cameras, Combat, and Courage
       puts the reader right alongside these men as they struggle
       to document the war and stay alive while doing it although
       some didn't survive. The cameras around their necks often 
       shared space with a rifle or grenade launcher that enabled
       them to stay alive while performing their assigned 
       military duties, killing, if necessary, to survive. Often,
       during a brief respite from trudging through swamps and 
       rice paddies or jumping from a chopper into a hot landing 
       zone, they would wander the streets of villages or even 
       downtown Saigon, curiously photographing a people and a 
       culture so strange and different to them. It is these 
       photographs, of a kinder, more personal nature, removed 
       from the horror and death of war that they also share with
       the reader. The accounts in this book come from young men 
       thrust into a conflict half way around the world, and all 
       who had their own unique perspective on the war. Some were
       seasoned photographers before the military, others had 
       only recently held a camera for the first time.
