Tim Page's Nam [Paperback]

Tim Page (Author), William Shawcross (Introduction)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Page's now classic volume was one of the first to show the true horror of the Vietnam war; not just the death counts and the footage on the six o'clock news, but an insider's account-Page was wounded several times-of how it really was. "Page's photographs vividly show just how dirty the war was" (LJ 4/1/83).

This is a book that every photojournalist, press photographer, or combat cameraman should own. The works of Tim Page, not only highlight the personl hell that or soldiers msut endure in a time of war, but also those journalist who risk thier own lives in order bring home the story of our brave men and women who fight for their country.

This review is from: Tim Page's Nam (Paperback)

I really don't see how this book could receive less then 5 stars ?!
You can be as critical as you want about Tim Page's adventurous life but the images speak for themselves and they're first class. Personally I enjoy the text and Page really had the courage to stick his neck out for you now to be able to look at these close up images of war ...him being seriously wounded on several occasions...think about that while you sip on your Cappucino.

This review is from: Tim Page's NAM (Paperback)

This was a solid effort by this photographer that has basically made his career out of the Viet Nam war. I thought the pictures were interesting and somewhat dramatic, but there was nothing that moved me a great deal. This is not a book that you will show off to each new person that comes to your house; it is a good overview of the war. If you are looking for a brief, general book then this is for you.
