PS - she is also featured in Peter Howe's book "Shooting Under Fire"

One fairly unique aspect of her Vietnam work is photogorahs of North
Vietnamese troops in action in Hue as a result of being "captured" or at
least detained by the NVA - which images were featured on the cover of Life,
as well as the usual US operations

Her site is here

(she runs pieceuniquegallery with work from photographers in Vietnam as well
as this being her personal photo page)
