VIETNAM WAR: Elmer Lower had been in the field before he became the President of ABC News. Proof was that he not only worked as soundman for cameraman Jim DeSylva in Saigon but attempted to go into besieged Khe Sanh with a crew. INSPIRING memoirs from a legendary war ABC cameraman who filmed first-hand the horrors of the Vietnam War have been released as an English-language book for the first time. In this new autobiography, ABC???s top cameraman reveals incredible insights into the devastating war which raged between the USA and Vietnam across a decade in the mid-20th Century. The horrific footage ABC brought back from the war was ground-breaking, and was used by the anti-Vietnam movement to eventually force the US government to end the war. Entitled ???On the Frontlines of the Television War??? by Yasutsune ???Tony??? Hirashiki, the book, the Japanese-version of which is award-winning, has been published by Casemate.
