This entire file relates to the suicide of Reverend Quang Duc who doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire in protest of the Vietnam War. The photograph taken of the incident set off a storm of outcry against the war and won the photographer a Pulitzer Prize. This group includes the famed photo itself, the funeral and its procession, demonstrations in the streets, and more. Most are of the burning itself in various stages. Horrific. Overall EX-MT, most front-captioned, 7x9".
