Klappentext zu „The Final Page “
Wounded four times, and twice pronounced dead, Tim Page, the legendary photographer of the Vietnam War, was the original gonzo photojournalist. But while famed as the inspiration behind Dennis Hopper's character in Apocalypse Now, and the man who brought the sixties counterculture to Saigon, he was also deeply haunted by the war, especially the loss of his friend and fellow photojournalist Sean Flynn, the son of the actor Errol Flynn, who went missing in Cambodia in 1970. The Final Page contains the last interview that Tim Page gave before his death on 24 August 2022 at the age of 78. Speaking with American writer Jacques Menasche, Page, facing the end, shares an elegiac remembrance of bygone times, as well as the scars-both psychic and physical-which he carried. The book includes images from Vietnam by Page, portraits of the photographer by his friend and editor, Stephen Dupont, and a personal recollection by his colleague Martin Stuart-Fox. The result is a paean to an extraordinary man and an extraordinary life.

Tim Page (1944-2022) left England at 17 to travel throughout Europe, the Middle East, India and Nepal. He worked as a correspondent for United Press International in Laos during the civil war, before covering the Vietnam War for five years, largely on assignment for Time Life, Paris Match and the Associated Press. In 1967 Page documented the Six-Day War in the Middle East, before working in the Balkans, Sri Lanka, the Solomon Islands and East Timor; in 2009 he was made a photographic peace ambassador to the United Nations in Afghanistan.
