First printing of the first edition. Known by many as a friend of Picasso as well as his photo-documentarian, Duncan was just as well known as a combat photographer. Beginning in WWII, he served as an officer in the Marines, photographing the American invasions of the Solomon Islands and Okinawa. By the Vietnam War his objectivity waned; this collection became an appeal for mainstream Americans to question the wisdom of the US military invasion in Vietnam.
