War is gruesome and captured on film releaves the suffering and violence civilian (and military) personell face on everyday basis perhaps more than through the TV screen images - perhaps more than we all can imagine.

Who is your favourite war photographer and what's your favourite war photography? Not just the act of war, every aspect.

In my opinion Eddie Adams and his photo of police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan who shoots the prisoner in the head in Saigon 1. feb 1968 sticks to my mind as a description on how cruel a war/crisis can be.

Neil Davis, the Australian combat photographer who went to Borneo, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and finally was killed in Thailand, he filmed his own death. He was the person who filmed the NVA Tank smashing through the gates of the presidential palace during the fall of Saigon.
