There's an auction taking place in London next week of vintage prints from
the Vietnam War, including those from the book 'Requiem' and some by NV
photographers. Details are here:
http://www.immf.org/auction3.html

It's worthwhile to follow the link to the catalogue,
http://www.imagesagainstwar.com/indochina/
then scroll down and look at some of the PDFs. They include recent
images, such as photos by John Stoddart of British troops in Iraq this
year. His portfolio won this year's Larry Burrows award for
outstanding photojournalism. Here:

There are some amazing photographs in these catalogues.
