Original Napalm Image , by ARN on Jul 1, 2018 16:16:38 GMT 1, Hi all,
Hope uploading this image works! I recently went to the war museum in Vietnam (I recommend it!) and saw the original image Napalm was based off. Thought I would post it here in case anyone was interested.

That whole museum really offers some perspective - lots of examples of the damage Napalm and Agent Orange caused then and for their future generations

Awful, just awful, should be the biggest picture on the wall in front of the desk of every Government leader.

Original Napalm Image , by jp on Jul 2, 2018 0:26:11 GMT 1, Wow great picture... such a powerful image That whole museum really offers some perspective - lots of examples of the damage Napalm and Agent Orange caused then and for their future generations There is an excellent photobook from 2017 that covers the horrible results from the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, titled Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation. You can read about it here: www.mathieuasselin.com/monsanto/. Unfortunately it went out of print after winning the Paris photo award, but I would keep and eye out for a second edition, as it is a book worth owning.

Regarding your reference to "some perspective", it's worth asking what kind of perspective it is exactly that museum visitors are receiving here.
Bear in mind the country you were in, along with the political regime in place, and what happens to anyone viewed even as a potential threat to the single-party state.
Nick Ut really should have known better than to donate a photograph without agreeing beforehand precisely what the accompanying text would say. He has enough first-hand experience when it comes to cynical and revisionist distortions of his work.
__________
Here's a question to better illustrate my point:
If Kim Il-sung (with the support of China and the Soviet Union) had been successful with his invasion of South Korea in the 1950s, how much faith would you have today in official accounts of the Fatherland Liberation War โ as presented by communist authorities in a national museum?

This video has a good section on the Vietnam war.
