No Christmas As Usual

Poster
early 1970s (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

With its bleak evocation of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, this poster places the war in Vietnam on a par with two of the most atrocious conflicts in modern history. Eternal regiments of white gravestones, marked only by numbers, are combined with a viciously ambiguous caption.
