5.0 out of 5 stars
a luminous, searching cross-section of Vietnam today
Superb. Among the many books of pictures of Vietnam, this one stands out as simply smarter, prettier, more disturbing and deeper than the rest. Epstein works with images like a novelist or composer, stringing them together in long symphonic wavelike movements.

Thoughtless layout mars an otherwise wonderful set of photos

This really ruins what would otherwise be a wonderful viewing experience.

This review is from: Vietnam: A Book of Changes (Hardcover)
Superb. Among the many books of pictures of Vietnam, this one stands out as simply smarter, prettier, more disturbing and deeper than the rest. Epstein works with images like a novelist or composer, stringing them together in long symphonic wavelike movements. The photos--of daily life deep within the country-are beautiful and upsetting at the same time. Almost impossibly, Epstein allows the complicity of the American involvement in Vietnam into the picture frame, and comments subtly, and at the same time, on his own presence as picture taker, while never losing his visual perfect pitch. A must buy for anyone interested in photography, or our legacy in Vietnam

This review is from: Vietnam: A Book of Changes (Hardcover)
With obvious reason that Mr. Epstein is a master in capturing beautiful images in a place when there are few foreign journalists are welcome at that time. Put thing in perspective, how time has changed and a book like this will be viewed as reference.
