This Pulitzer-prize winning photograph of
9-year old Kim Phúc fleeing from a napalm bombing in 1972 brought home a
reality in stark contrast to the view of the Vietnam War as a noble
cause and the Americans (and their South Vietnamese partners) as the
"good guys." But entrenched positions are not easily challenged, and
Richard Nixon himself was caught on tape questioning the photo's
authenticity because he could not accept its implications.
