Descriptionof Horst Faas

The Cold War and decolonisation coincided with an expansion of the media system in the second half of the 20th century. Visual media in particular grew to have great political significance. The work of Horst Faas (19332012), created at the forefront of this development, set new standards in this field. Based on his life and work, this book presents this development in terms of its political and aesthetic significance against the backdrop of the journalistic milieu of the time. The focus of the presentation in line with the main impact of Faas's work and his influence is on the period from 1962 to the late 1970s: the phase of the US-dominated war in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, as well as its effects and aftermath. Faas' reporting remains the central point of reference throughout. The political context of his work and that of his agency AP is also taken into account, including the resulting friction, restrictions, internal conflicts and problems with the US Army and government, as well as censorship (and threats thereof).
