Chien Tranh Giai Phong Viet Nam | Bun'yo Ishikawa | 1977
Large 4to, hardcover with slipcase. VG.
This big red book is Chien Tranh Giai Phong Vietnam by Bun'yo Ishikawa, a great classic of japanese photojournalism detailing Vietnam war from a non western point of view. Ishikawa made a few books on this gruesome conflict ("Vietnam and the People" to mention another one). This one is probably the best one.
Mentioned in "The photobook: a history" vol. III by Parr/Badger.
