\u2018Saigon Execution\u2019 by Eddie Adams, 1968<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2018Saigon Execution\u2019 is the best-known photo of the American photographer Eddie Adams. It captures the moment when brigade general of the Vietnamese army Nguyen Ngoc Loan shoots a captive officer of the Vietcong army. The picture scares with expression. Fear on the face of a prisoner of war, cold calm on the face of the executioner. Now comes a shot\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

This image brought Adams to glory, Pulitzer Prize, nomination in Top 100 influential photos in history<\/a> (Time Magazine)… and also sorrow. Photographer used to say with regret that \u201cThe general killed the Vietnamese; I killed the general with my camera. A simple image can be the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them: but photographs can lie even if they have not been manipulated. They speak only part of the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Van

Escorting Van Lem, the captain of the \u2018Avengers squad\u2019<\/p><\/div>\n

So where is the truth about which photography? Let\u2019s start with the victim. His name is Van Lem and he was the captain of the \u2018Avengers squad\u2019. His unit murdered brutally families, with women and children, of the South Vietnamese police officers just minutes before this photo was taken. 34 bodies were found in the ditch. Vietcong fighter was very proud of what he had done, chanted his communist ideals, boasted that all the people from the list he had previously compiled perished. \u2018Saigon Execution\u2019 can\u2019t tell this story behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

The photograph can\u2019t tell all the truth about General Loan too. \u201cThis guy was a real hero,\u201d Eddie Adams recalled. The photographer even apologized to the ex-general and his family for the damage that he had caused them with his picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Execution

Execution accomplished<\/p><\/div>\n

The former general left Vietnam and settled in Virginia in 1975. He opened a small pizzeria, but the image haunted him. Letters with notes like \u201cWe know who you are\u201d, \u201cKiller!\u201d were his day-to-day routine. US Immigration and Nationalization Services wanted to deport him, and this photo was the main reason it. Feds contacted Adams and asked to testify against Loan, but Adams instead testified in his favor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The photographer even had to appear on television where he tried to explain the story behind the picture. After all, Nguyen Ngoc Loan was saved by the congress bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he had to close his restaurant. In 1998 Nguyen Ngok Loan died of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adams and Loan stayed in touch, even becoming friends.<\/span><\/p>\n
