Perimeter Bunker and Barbed Wire Defenses, Cu Chi, South Vietnam, 1967

The perimeter of a U.S. base camp near Cu Chi, South Vietnam, 1967. A line of barbed wire and a sandbagged bunker mark the boundary between the relative safety of the base and the open, contested countryside beyond—a landscape that concealed the extensive Viet Cong tunnel network for which Cu Chi became famous.
