 | David Hume Kennerly, 1971 |
| A soldier sits on weary alert behind his machine gun after heavy fighting on Easter Sunday in Vietnam and a GI walks across the devastated landscape. Kennerly's photos from the Vietnam War earned him a Pulitzer Prize--the industry's highest honor. The Pulitzer committee said that his images "captured the loneliness and desolation of war." |
