There is one image that has undoubtedly shaped our perception of war and, despite the passage of time, remains etched in our contemporary visual memory. It is the photograph of the little girl running naked, her skin burned by napalm, following the bombing of Trang Bang, fifty kilometers from Saigon, in June 1972. The following year, photographer Nick Ut received the Pulitzer Prize and the World Press Photo award for this iconic image. It raised awareness of the cruelty of war on the civilian population, spurred the anti-war movement, and there are recorded phone conversations of Nixon from the Oval Office expressing concern about the photo's political potential and the cost it could have on the official narrative about Vietnam. For fifty years, Nick Ut has received public recognition and has explained the details of how he captured the image and took the girl to the hospital.
