Vietnam War Photographer Dies at 91

Dang Van Phuoc, the fearless Vietnamese war photographer who captured raw, unflinching images from the heart of the Vietnam War for the Associated Press, has died at 91. Known for embedding himself with troops, surviving five injuries including losing an eye to a grenade blast, and even saving a soldier’s life under fire, Phuoc wielded his camera as a weapon of truth. His haunting photos of both combat and civilian suffering became iconic, and after fleeing Vietnam post-Saigon, he rebuilt his life in California, continuing to photograph and serve his community. A self-taught “secret weapon” of the AP, his legacy lives on in images that shaped global understanding of war. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
