What is Another Vietnam : pictures of the war from the other side about?

Often described as the first television war, the Vietnam conflict was defined -- and shaped -- by cameras and the bold, gifted photographers behind them. Our memories of Vietnam are literally graphic -- a Buddhist monk setting himself on fire, a war-weary grunt with a thousand-yard stare, a napalmed child fleeing her flaming village, desperate refugees clinging to the skids of the last helicopter out of Saigon. These and a hundred other images are seared into our consciousness -- but a very different viewpoint appears in this vision of three decades of war in Vietnam.<p>Another Vietnam presents the view of the North Vietnamese combat photographers who documented their people's 30-year struggle, first against the French and then against the Americans. Intended above all to inspire, their pictures portray a society committed to victory at all costs, but they are much more than mere propaganda: They show us courage, drama, resolve, and -- often -- a violent beauty.</p><p>Picture editor Doug Niven sought out surviving photographers and discovered a treasure trove of images created under the harshest of conditions and preserved for a quarter century against all odds.
