Of the thousands of documents of the Vietnam War, none is so raw, so immediate and so resonant today.
Soldiers engraved love, death, sex, drugs and rock?n?roll onto the canvases of their Zippo lighters, in a real-life version of the war portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola?s epic film 'Apocalypse Now'.
Drawn from the collection of American artist Bradford Edwards and other private collections, the chrome-plated brass bears witness to the uncensored feelings of young men at war; their testimony is both shocking and hilarious in its bitter satire.
