(...)
the Republican and Democratic National Conventions for NBC News in 1968.
He was just back from Vietnam, and what might have been a hiatus from combat turned violent in Chicago, where National Guardsmen with rifles and police officers with nightsticks and tear gas clashed with antiwar demonstrators outside the convention hall where Democrats were meeting.
His photographs showed helmeted troops on Michigan Avenue, protesters with gashed and bleeding heads, and a sobbing girl who pleaded with him, “Please, tell it like it was.”
(...)
He went to war with only essential equipment: helmet, poncho, spoon, toothbrush, compass, soap and backpack containing two canteens, an exposure meter, film and two cameras.
He used a Rolleiflex in World War II, but preferred a 35-millimeter.
He took two Leica IIIc cameras into Korea, and said they stood up well in the rain and mud.
He often used 50-millimeter f/2 and 135-millimeter f/3.5 Nikkor lenses.

Mr. Greene, one of the few African-American photographers who worked internationally, was known for his visceral and brutally honest photographs of wars, including conflicts in Chechnya, Georgia, Afghanistan and Iraq, that at times were too raw for many publications.

Malcolm Wilde Browne USA 1931-2012
Malcolm Browne was a first-rate reporter who spent decades at The New York Times, covered wars around the world and won the Pulitzer Prize for his writing about the early days of the Vietnam war.
And yet he will forever be remembered for one famous picture, the 1963 photo of a Buddhist monk who calmly set himself on fire on the streets of Saigon to protest against the South Vietnamese government, which was being supported by the U.S.
In a war that would produce many shocks to the American public, Browne's photo was one of the first and remains an iconic image of the war a half-century later.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/08/28/
Mr. Browne’s graphic 1963 photographic series of the fiery suicide of the monk, Thich Quang Duc, exposed the deep hostility to the Saigon regime months before the ineffectual South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was shot, three weeks before Kennedy’s assassination.

The picture, of five marines and a navy corpsman lifting the pole over a battle-scarred landscape, was taken by Joe Rosenthal, (...) who was a combat photographer only because he had been rejected by the army because his eyesight was so bad.

John G. Morris, Renowned Photo Editor in the Thick of History, Dies at 100 NYT July 28, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/28/
On 3 December 1938 Picture Post introduced 'The Greatest War Photographer in the World: Robert Capa' with a spread of 26 photographs taken during the Spanish Civil War.
But the 'greatest war photographer' hated war.
Born Andre Friedmann to Jewish parents in Budapest in 1913, he studied political science at the Deutsche Hochschule für Politik in Berlin.
Driven out of the country by the threat of a Nazi regime, he settled in Paris in 1933.
He was represented by Alliance Photo and met the journalist and photographer Gerda Taro.
Together, they invented the 'famous' American photographer Robert Capa and began to sell his prints under that name.
He met Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, and formed friendships with fellow photographers David 'Chim' Seymour
and Henri
Cartier-Bresson.
From 1936 onwards, Capa's coverage of the Spanish Civil War appeared regularly.
His picture of a Loyalist soldier who had just been fatally wounded earned him his international reputation and became a powerful symbol of war.
After his companion, was killed in Spain, Capa travelled to China in 1938 and emigrated to New York a year later.
As a correspondent in Europe, he photographed the Second World War, covering the landing of American troops on Omaha beach on D-Day, the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1947 Capa founded Magnum Photos with Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, George Rodger and William Vandivert.
On 25 May 1954 he was photographing for Life in Thai-Binh, Indochina, when he stepped on a landmine and was killed.
The French army awarded him the Croix de Guerre with Palm post-humously.
The Robert Capa Gold Medal Award was established in 1955 to reward exceptional professional merit. http://www.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.Biography_VPage&AID=2K7O3R14TSPQ

Alexander Gardner 1821-1882
In 1862, Brady shocked America by displaying his photographs of battlefield corpses from Antietam, posting a sign on the door of his New York gallery that read, "The Dead of Antietam."
This exhibition marked the first time most people witnessed the carnage of war.
The New York Times said that Brady had brought "home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war." http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/cwphtml/cwbrady.html
