Alyssa Adams is the second wife of the late Eddie Adams, the combat photographer that won a Pulitzer prize for the image of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon during the Vietnam War. He later regretted the damage the photo caused to General Loan's reputation. She explains other work that she has come across after his death, including "A Day in the Life of Loan," a series of photographs that followed General Loan on a typical day. Personal correspondence and other materials were donated to The Briscoe Center at The University of Texas at Austin.
