Vietnam 40 Years Later
During the early 1970s, the Nixon Administration instituted a draft
lottery to determine who would be inducted into the military. It was
an era of high-anxiety for young men like me who were not eager to be
sent to Vietnam. I got lucky, drew a high draft number and avoided
military service.
Even so, the war and this far-away country had a demonstrative
effect on my life, galvanizing my interest in politics and propelling
me into an award-winning journalism career that included time as a
Washington correspondent. My interest in Vietnam followed me through
my career, and in 2005, I made my first photo-shooting trip there, a
life-changing experience that became the starting point for an
eight-year exploration of this beautiful Southeast Asian nation.
And there, I found a story that needs to be told: Vietnam is no
longer a war. It is a country -- one that is dynamic, moving forward
and eager to be a full-fledged member of the global economy.
I am passionate about telling this historic story with my
photography, and I need your help. This will be an important book,
because it will help update Americans on what has happened to Vietnam
in the last 40 years. Along with our courageous Vietnam War Veterans
and our Vietnamese-American fellow citizens, Americans continue to
heal from this tragic period in our history. It is my hope that my
book will contribute to this healing, as knowing more about this
country leads to understanding and reconciliation.
I am very excited to have Damiani Editore of Italy as my
publisher. Damiani is one of the world's most prestigious publishers
of art and photography books and I know that Vietnam 40 Years Later is
going to be a beautiful publication with about 100 compelling color
photographs. It also will contain a forward by Andrew Lam, an
award-winning Vietnamese-American author. Lam's forward, along with my
own essay, will be accompanied by a collection of portraits of
Vietnamese people from all walks of life.
Together, I hope this package will help Americans give up their
horrific war-era memories of Vietnam in favor of a more hopeful view.
