"War Without Heroes" is David Douglas Duncan at his very best. He was always close up to the action and his grainy black and white images capture war in all of its most intimate moments. More than any other photographer, David Douglas Duncan had the ability to capture the thousand yard stare of the exhausted infantryman. "War Without Heroes" is powerful book and I highly recommend it! EB; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 252 pages .
