043139 - ON THE FRONTLINES OF THE TELEVISION WAR: A Legendary War Cameraman in Vietnam

By Yasutsune Hirashiki and edited by Terry Irving

The story of Yasutsune "Tony" Hirashiki's ten years in Vietnam—beginning when he arrived in 1966 as a young freelancer with a 16mm camera but without a job or the slightest grasp of English and ending in the hectic fall of Saigon in 1975 when he was literally thrown on one of the last flights out.
