World Press Photo of the Year: 1966
Tan Binh, South Vietnam, 24 February 1966. American troops drag the body of a Viet Cong soldier to be buried.
About the image: He experienced many atrocities first hand, but found it hard to talk about. His widow confides that he wasn't pleased to win that year, as the tragic photo upset him. Always a daredevil, he was killed in 1970, while on assignment in Cambodia.
