The photographer Nick Ut (born Hu nh Công Út, in former French Indochina) began working for the Associated Press at age 15. His most famous photograph is The Terror of War (1972), which depicts children fleeing from a napalm attack in the Trảng Bàng village during the Vietnam War, the children’s mouths agape while soldiers appear in the background. The photo quickly came to represent the depravity not only of this specific war but of conflict in general. Publishing the image which centers a nude 9-year-old Phan Thi Kum Phuc was immediately controversial. The authorship of this image has also been disputed in later decades with claims that the photograph was actually taken by Nguyen Thanh Nghe or Huynh Cong Phuc. Whoever the author, the photograph is a haunting reminder of the power of images during ongoing conflict, though its means of production and dissemination is comparably slower than the handheld, Internet-connected cameras used daily today.
