An Unlikely Weapon plot

"1/500th of a second to get the shot...a lifetime to forget it."

In 1968, Saigon photographer Eddie Adams shot one of the most famous photos ever of a police chief shooting an insurgent in the head. It is said that the photo helped trigger the end of the Vietnam War. However, things never got better for Adams after this. Although the photo earned him a Pulitzer and fame, the event left a deep wound. He became obsessed and too involved with the seamy side of wars.
