Last week Nachtwey accepted the Overseas Press Club's (O.P.C.) Robert Capa Gold Medal for his photography of both combatants and civilians in Nicaragua and Lebanon. The award, named after the famed LIFE photographer who died in 1954 in Indochina, is one of the most prestigious in photojournalism because it is given for overseas reporting "requiring exceptional courage and enterprise...

...fighters and bombers grounded, its guns silenced, and its soldiers withdrawn from battlefields, America last week ceased waging war in Indochina for the first time in nearly a decade. At midnight on Tuesday (Washington, D.C., time) all U.S. combat activity ended. It was one of the great anticlimaxes in the nation's history.
