Many airstrikes and attacks are launched from both sides worsening the humanitarian crisis currently taking place in the fight for Tripoli.As the deadly attacks by the LNA seize control of the city, the people of Libya continue their fight for democracy and survival as they attempt to go about their daily lives under siege.

Images From A War Zone: Military Photographers and The Vietnam War

An incredible book has just been published on the Vietnam War – Shooting Vietnam: The War by Its Military Photographers, by Dan Brookes and Bob Hillerby. The book contains images taken by combat cameramen of the US Army and US Marines, rather than civilian photographers. As the book describes,‘[…] behind the scenes, and unheralded for their camera work, were hundreds of military photographers, just doing what was expected of them as part of their day-to-day job description. Unlike their famous civilian counterparts, many had to endure a year-long assignment that constantly placed them in harm’s way. Sometimes it meant dropping the camera and picking up an M-16 or grenade launcher, or manning an M-60 machine gun, or helping to carry the wounded to a medevac dust-off chopper.’
