Overview
Sleeping with Ghosts. Photographs and notes by Don McCullin. Introduction by Mark HaworthBooth. This book presents the life's work of one of the great photojournalists of our time, who raised the status of his craft to that of high art. McCullin has collected some two hundred of his best pictures. From India to Biafra, from Northern Ireland to Vietnam, his images reveal a compassionate contact between human beings in harsh environments. For U.S. distribution only. 183 blackandwhite duotone photographs, 11 3/4 X 10 3/4, pages."'Get closer' is the grim diktat of war photography, and the toll exacted by the work is often, in the end, more spiritual than physical. No one has gotten closer than Don McCullin. He has been photographing wars, mostly for London newspapers, for thirty years, and some of the bestknown images from and alarming number of farflung conflicts are his."
