Mark Jury, Whose Photography Captured War and Death, Dies at 80
Briefly

Mark Jury’s work provided a powerful and rare perspective on the Vietnam War, capturing the brutality and chaos of a conflict often marred by moral decay.
His first book, The Vietnam Photo Book, depicted the war not as a noble cause but as a chaotic struggle for survival, a 'rock 'n' roll war'.
Jury's unique perspective as an Army photographer revealed that combatants were frequently caught between courage and a chaotic atmosphere of drugs and debauchery.
He drew inspiration from iconic war photographers like Robert Capa, aiming to deliver an unflinching portrayal of the war's nightmarish reality, reflecting despair and moral corruption.
