America's bloodiest day Book

After finishing Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War, I was eager to see images of the Vietnam War. To my surprise, my local public library had two perfect books-- Larry Burrows's Vietnam and Another Vietnam: Pictures of the War from the Other Side. Another Vietnam shows the images by North Vietnamese combat photographers. And Larry Burrows was a brilliant British photographer who captured the Vietnam War for ten years for Life magazine. Together these two books provide exceptional historical documentation of this devastating war. Larry Burrows's book and each of the eleven chapters is introduced by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Halberstam with his exquisite prose. The faces of the teenage American marines and the full color images of combat and children are shocking and memorable. They also seem well designed to illustrate the novel Matterhorn.
