A fascinating collection of photographs of the Vietnam war by one of the greatest photographers of combat.

A collection of black and white photographs from Vietnam marines 1967 -1968 with accompanying zen text from Operation Fortress Sentry in September 1967, the famous Marine base at Conthien i assume later in the year and then Khe Sanh . Haunting, atmospheric bold photos with much depth of everyday life, and death, with the marines in Vietnam. They reminded me somewhat of Raymond Depardon, a well renowned French photographer war photos from the same period.
