He has come back from God knows how many brinks, all different. His experience in a Ugandan prison alone would be enough to unhinge another man - like myself, as a matter of fact - for good. He has been forfeit more times than he can remember, he says. But he is not bragging. Talking this way about death and risk, he seems to be implying quite consciously that by testing his luck each time, he is testing his Maker's indulgence.' - John le Carré ***'McCullin is required reading if you want to know what real journalism is all about.' - The Times ***'If this was just a book of McCullin's war photographs it would be valuable enough. But it is much more.' - Sunday Correspondent. ***'From the opening, there is hardly a dull sentence: his prose is so lively and uninhibited. An excellent book.' - Sunday Telegraph. ***'McCullin handles much of the material culled from his war experiences like a seasoned thriller writer. His dialogue is convincing and sharp.' - Observer ***Sir Donald McCullin, CBE, Hon FRPS (born 9th Oct 1935), is a British photojournalist, particularly recognised for his war photography and images of urban strife. His career, which began in 1959, has specialised in examining the underside of society, and his photographs have depicted the unemployed, downtrodden and the impoverished. In 1958 he took a photograph of a local London gang posing in a bombed-out building. He was persuaded by his colleagues to take his photograph of The Guvnors, as the gang was known, to The Observer, which published it, setting him on his path as a photographer. Between 1966 and 1984, he worked as an overseas correspondent for the Sunday Times Magazine, recording ecological and man-made catastrophes such as wars, amongst them Biafra in 1968, and victims of the African AIDS epidemic. His hard-hitting coverage of the Vietnam War and the Northern Ireland conflict is held in particularly high regard.
