While all four were indeed consumate professionals, spending time with
the book "Requiem," I come away thinking that the generally 'unknown'
Henri Huet, rather than the better known - and clearly world-class -
Larry Burrows was the photographic 'bright, shinning' star of the
Vietnam war.

While they weren't equally
famous, all four [ Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of AP,
Kent Potter of
UPI and Keisaburo Shimamoto of NewsweekLarry Burrows of Life magazine,
Henri Huet of AP, Kent Potter of
UPI and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek] were top professionals, admired
for their skill, compassion and courage, and they died doing what they
did best.
In summary, it's a story of four outstanding combat photographers
and a lot of other people for whom Vietnam became the indelible
experience of a lifetime.
