MOST FAMOUS PHOTOS IN HISTORY – AND THE UNBELIEVABLE STORIES BEHIND THEM
13. The Hell of War
With his young yet haunting eyes, and the iconic legend of ‘war is hell’ written across his helmet, this photo shows – with shocking power – the utter futility of war. The Vietnam war was perhaps the first of its kind to see youth protests erupt across the USA and elsewhere in the world, and the soldiers who went out into the jungle saw slaughter on an unimaginable scale, returning forever changed, or not at all.
This picture was snapped by photojournalist Horst Faas in 1965 in South Vietnam, where he was moved by the fact that so many young Americans fundamentally opposed the brutal war they never knew they were being drafted for.
