Note:In this publication the photographic testimonies the photographer gathered from the world's frontlines and humanitarian disasters pass before our eyes one after another: images of the Berlin Wall's construction; wars in Vietnam and Cambodia; bloody conflicts in the Middle East; and victims of famine in Biafra, cholera in Bangladesh and AIDS in Africa - to mention just a few. Then there are the merciless depictions McCullin made of his homeland, England, photographing the most contradictory "faces" of that society: gangs and teddy boys, the homeless and the unemployed, and the nobility attending the Ascot races.
