Associated Press photographer Horst Faas was based in Saigon from 1962 until 1974. In 1965, he won his first Pulitzer Prize for his combat photography of the war in South Vietnam, but winning the prize was bittersweet. Faas discusses his work in Vietnam and describes the emotional week when he won the Pulitzer and learned that one of his photojournalist colleagues had been killed by the Viet Cong.
