The photos are like a true reflection prism, giving the American people as well as many countries around the world a panoramic picture of the Vietnamese people's resistance war for independence and freedom.
Among the photos on display are many impressive ones such as those by reporter Eddie Adams, Malcolm Browne's photo of monk Thich Quang Duc burning himself to death in 1963 and Nick Ut's photo of a badly burned girl running away from a napalm attack in 1972...
In particular, works taken by AP photojournalists who won four Pulitzer Prizes - the most prestigious award for reporters - also appeared at the exhibition.
AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said AP has a comprehensive collection of photographs of the Vietnam War. Two years ago, the agency decided to document its coverage of the war through photographs, resulting in the publication of the book "Vietnam: The Real War." The book is the inspiration for the exhibition "Vietnam: The War in Photos."
Throughout its 170-year history of formation and development, the AP News Agency (USA) has always maintained its mission of bringing the world the fastest and most honest information. The agency also reported on the defeat of France in Indochina; the Geneva Agreement in 1954 that divided Vietnam, and the decision of the United States to turn Vietnam into a hot battlefield during the Cold War./.
