<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>First published in 2001, this retrospective survey offers both an examination of Don McCullin's photographic career as well as a record of half a century of international conflict. Coinciding with the photographer's eightieth birthday, this expanded edition of <i>Don McCullin</i> serves as fitting homage to a photographer who dedicated his life to the front line in order to deliver compassionate visual testament to human suffering. With texts by Mark Holborn, Harold Evans and Susan Sontag, and photographs taken by McCullin in England, Cyprus, Vietnam, the Congo, Biafra, Northern Ireland, Cambodia, Bangladesh and Beirut, this is an essential volume on one of the legendary photographers of the 20th century. I have long admired Don McCullin's heroic journey through some of the most appalling zones of suffering in the last third of the 20th century, Sontag wrote in her essay. We now have a vast repository of images that make it harder to preserve such moral defectiveness. Let the atrocious images haunt us Seeing reality in the form of an image cannot be more than an invitation to pay attention, to reflect, to learn, to examine the rationalizations for mass suffering offered by established powers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The artistry of his compositions and the compassion with which he approached his subjects gave his work accessibility--and for years it was his photographs that connected British people to the reality of wars and natural disasters in faraway places. - <i>CNN</i></p> <p>One of his great skills as a photojournalist was being able to shoot an image of something people find hard to look at and transform it into something they can't look away from. - <i>CNN</i></p> <p>With his visceral frontline images, he brought intense, gut wrenching moments of combat into the homes of millions. - <i>Mother Jones</i></p><br>
