Buell, Hal
Abstract
Hal Buell was in charge of AP Photos during the Vietnam War from 1967 until the end of the war out of the AP office in New York. He describes how photographs were transferred out of Vietnam via radio beams and the political impact of certain images, such as Eddie Adams' image of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon. He also discusses the most iconic images of the Vietnam War and how current coverage has changed for subsequent wars because of limited access.
