Josef Koudelka Invasion Prague 68 /anglais

The Czech photographer Josef Koudelka was centre stage with his camera when the Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in 1968, photographing mass demonstrations and the confrontations between protesters and invading soldiers. Smuggled out of Czechoslovakia soon after the invasion, Koudelka's stunning black-and-white pictures of the citizens of Prague swarming the streets as tanks rumble towards them were widely published in the West, and remain the definitive images of those tumultuous days.
