Non-Fiction History
In 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from
Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos and
exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat
photographers: Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of
Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International,
and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The remoteness of the
crash site made a recovery attempt impossible. When the war
ended four years later, the war zone was sealed off and the
helicopter incident faded from the headlines. But two
journalist colleagues-the authors of this book-returned to
Laos twenty-seven years later to resolve mysteries about the
crash and pay homage to their lost friends.
