520 |a "A poignant story of four combat photographers who died in Indochina--and the two journalists who kept their memory alive"--Front flap of jacket 
520 1 |a "In 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, the U.S.-backed Saigon regime launched a bold attack into Laos, hoping to cut North Vietnam's supply line, the fabled Ho Chi Minh Trail 
520 8 |a Three days into the risky operation called Lam Son 719, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire and exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers - Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of the Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek." 
520 8 |a "At long last, twenty-seven years after the crash, the authors returned to Laos and joined a U.S. MIA-search team excavating the hillside where the helicopter crashed. Despite the rugged and rain-washed terrain, the team unearthed camera parts and bits of film providing eerie proof of what happened there." 
520 8 |a "The Saigon press corps and the American public were stunned, but the remoteness of the location made a recovery attempt impossible. When the war ended four years later in a communist victory, the war zone was sealed off to outsiders and the helicopter incident faded from most memories. Yet two journalists - Richard Pyle and Horst Faas, the authors of this book - never forgot their friends and colleagues who were on that helicopter." 
520 8 |a "The narrative of Lost over Laos is framed in a period that was among the war's bloodiest for both the military and the media. It is rich with behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the Saigon press corps and illustrated with stunning work by the four combat photographers who died."--BOOK JACKET
