Biographie de Philip Jones Griffiths
Philip Jones Griffiths was born in Rhuddian, Wales
in 1936. While studying pharmacy in Liverpool he
became a part-time photographer for The Manchester Guardian, and later joined The Observer newspaper. He covered the Algerian war in 1962, and since then has covered most of the major conflicts throughout the world. His epic book, Vietnam, Inc., published in 1971 and
recently re-published by Phaidon Press, is recognised as pivotai in changing US attitudes to the war.
Agent Orange is, in some ways, his epilogue to that great work, and reflects not only his commitment to a valid, if cataclysmic, explanation of war, but also to the people of Vietnam.
