Ghosts of war : chasing my father's legend through Vietnam / by Reguly, Eric,author.;
"In the 1960s, there were few bigger journalists than the Toronto Star's Robert Reguly, who landed a series of international scoops and was right there in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. But no story loomed larger in Reguly's life, or in the world's consciousness, than the war in Vietnam, which he covered from startlingly close range in 1967. Vietnam haunted Robert, and his family, for the rest of their lives. Half a century later, his son Eric Reguly--himself an esteemed foreign correspondent--retraces his late father's footsteps through Vietnam's combat zones. Ghosts of War is the story of Eric's emotional quest to understand the complicated and distant man who raised him and guided him into journalism, as well as a reflection on his father's complex legacy."--

Includes bibliographical references.A sumptuous celebration of one of the world's most striking photograph collections from 1967 up to 2017.

In 1967, when the collection was established, the photography market was in its infancy and the collection reflects the availability of in depth collections of work by some of the forefathers of the medium such as Charles Nègre, William Henry Fox Talbot, Gustave Le Gray and Roger Fenton, among others. Within a few short years of starting to build the collection the science of photographic preservation and conservation was making remarkable strides and influencing the acquisition and exhibition of photographs in museums. This publication celebrates the collecting of photographs, the historical and art historical context of their making, and the deepening of our understanding of their physical nature.
