PHOTOJOURNALIST by Art Giberson

Photojournalist: The Story of a Navy Combat Photographer: is a compelling story and could have only been written by someone who was there and involved," says Vietnam veteran and author of Man of the River, Jimmy Bryant. "The novel's lead character, Ty Stephens, is a Navy photojournalist. A cocky and self-confident Sailor with a personality other less confident Sailors like to gravitate to. His instincts put him in the right place at the right time for the photo and the story. Time and chance also help those that want to help themselves and Stevens makes the best of it when it's obvious that a story needs to be told. Especially noted is the actions of the PBR River Patrol Boats on the rivers in the Rung Sat Special Zone also known as the Forest of Assassins between Saigon and Vung Tao. The description of PBR's on patrol and their actions is accurate to the letter . A well written story as it was in real life in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. A must read for anyone desiring to know what enlisted men and women were faced with in trying to put together photos and stories for the military news outlets."

"If you like adventure as seen through the 24mm lens of a Nikon camera; on the deck of ships, in action in planes, helicopters and on the ground, you'll love 'Photojournalist', says the Florida newspaper, The Independent. "The novel's protagonist, Ty Stephens, is a Navy photojournalist with notable credentials and reputation to match. He has an eye for beautiful women-and a nose for news. Stephens is stationed at NAS Pensacola, FL, when he receives orders under suspicious circumstances to go to Vietnam. During the unfolding of the story, the author takes you aboard ships, planes, helicopters and on the ground in the middle of a war that should never have happened. You can feel the heat of battle as Art Giberson, a skilled photojournalist, now turned author, takes you along to experience the adventures of a savvy Navy photojournalist who puts his profession and country ahead of personal safety."

"I have more than 3,500 books in my library. Out of the entire collection there are only five that once you start reading you can't put it down--now there are six. 'Photojournalist' is an excellent read and a sure keeper. It should be on the bookshelf of every Navy photographer." Don Grantham, U.S. Navy photographer, ret.
