Requiem:
By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina
Horst Faas (Editor), et al
Hardcover / Published 1997
Although the size of a coffee-table book, Requiem is far more disturbing than most books in this classification; it is packed with images of the Vietnam and Indochina wars, and each picture is the work of a photographer who died in the line of duty, providing for the rather macabre pleasure of viewing undeniably stunning images that, in many cases, were snapped just moments before the photographer was killed. What makes the book truly remarkable, however, is its inclusion of many pictures taken by North Vietnamese photographers--pictures that present the war in a light not often seen by westerners.

Lost
Futures : Our Forgotten Children
Stan Grossfeld
Paperback / Published 1997
No question about it, the stark black and white images in Stan Grossfeld's book are gut wrenching--perhaps none more so than the child of the Gaza Strip holding her glass eye, its empty socket staring back at you. Yet this powerful and provocative book about the plight of millions of young people is as difficult to put down as it is to look at. At that, it could well set new standards in photojournalism.
