Dramatic two-part composite photograph of a Vietnamese monk who has committed ritual suicide to protest the war in Vietnam. His name was Thich Tieu-Dieu and he was the fifth monk to execute himself in the ultimate protest. Issued by the United Press and stamped on the back, this is a fine image in great shape with a full paper caption as well.
