書籍簡介

30多年來，唐·麥卡林在塞浦路斯、以色列、比夫拉、越南、柬埔寨和黎巴嫩的戰火中拍攝的戰爭照片，是人類對人類殘忍的見證。儘管他的故事出現在世界主要報紙和多本暢銷書上，但直到現在我們才聽到他生平的非凡故事。脆弱、叛逆、守勢、害羞，但他對自己的手藝和英國的鄉村充滿熱情，他向我們講述了他對童年被剝奪的憤怒。當他描寫那些他看到的比他自己更痛苦的人時，他也毫不吝嗇我們的情感。在希特勒的戰爭期間，他被疏散，但回到了倫敦的赤貧生活，以完成他的堅韌和成長，他偷煤為他的父親保持温暖，當他的父親快死了。青年時代的幫派鬥爭在他心中培養了一種自殺的勇氣，這種勇氣會一次次為他贏得當兵的勛章。他努力適應艦隊街的複雜生活，這就像他一天在剛果拍攝飢餓的兒童，第二天卻和自己的家人坐在一張滿桌的桌子前一樣讓他感到困惑。

Don McCullin's war photographs - taken over 30 years under fire in Cyprus, with the Israelis, in Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia and Lebanon - are a harrowing testimony of man's inhumanity to man. Though they have appeared in the world's leading newspapers and more than one bestselling book, not until now have we heard at first hand the extraordinary story of his life. Vulnerable, rebellious, defensive, shy but passionate about his craft and the English countryside, he gives us the full fury of his resentment at the deprivation of his childhood. He is no less sparing of our emotions when writing about those he sees suffering even more than himself. During Hitler's war he was evacuated but returned to grinding poverty in London to finish his toughening and growing up, stealing coal to keep his father warm when he was dying. The gang warfare of his youth bred in him a suicidal courage that again and again would have earned him medals as a serving soldier. His struggle to come to terms with the sophistication of Fleet Street was as bewildering to him as photographing starving children in the Congo one day and sitting down to a full table with his own family the next.
