Don Mc Cullin is one of the greatest photographers of conflict in our time. This book was conceived on a grand scale that does justice to his extraordinary life & the events he has witnessed. It forms one of the great documents of the latter part of the last century.

The book begins & ends in the Somerset landscape that surrounds Mc Cullin's home, but the whole sequence of more than two hundred photographs encompasses a ravaged northern Engl&, war in Cyprus, Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia, Beirut & riots in Derry. The climax of the book is among the cannibals & tribespeople deep in the jungles of Irian Jaya, where Mc Cullin focuses on humanity in an almost Stone Age condition.

The introduction by Harold Evans, the acclaimed newspaper editor & authority on photojournalism, is drawn from his long experience of working with Mc Cullin. The distinguished novelist & essayist, Susan Sontag, has contributed an essay on Mc Cullin & the role of witness to conflict
- a subject of timely pertinence.
