Highly influential, master photojournalist Philip Jones Griffiths b. His photographs have appeared in every major magazine in the world and his assignments have led him to all five continents. He became a member of Magnum in is one of America's most prominent linguists and political critics. A renowned Professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he has written over 30 political books. Vietnam Inc. The images and text are disturbing, of course. Griffiths' take is pointed. War is a corporate enterprise. I can't remember if it was a chapter from Zinn's "History" that began with "The Civil War made a few people very, very rich. To some the tone of text and image will also seem dated. There are many shades of nostalgia, some are more dangerous and self-aggrandizing than others. Those with close experiences of this war will recognize familiar territory here. Those who were not alive or whose circumstance of age allowed for further remove, may see the 'dated' image before recognizing the present affiliations of this book. These are present enterprises engaged in war. It's all here. It's all still here. Nov 06, Hieu rated it it was amazing. I found this book in a rather sparse History shelf of school library while hunting for some reading before lunch. It wiped lunch out of my mind. A voracious learner on this topic, I can testify that some photos by Griffiths one of their kind. One can find among those photos whose content and caption are themselves perfect juxtaposition. A friendly photo of an American soldier looking endearingly at a Vietnamese mother holding her son - caption: the mother and her son killed by US artillery calle I found this book in a rather sparse History shelf of school library while hunting for some reading before lunch. A friendly photo of an American soldier looking endearingly at a Vietnamese mother holding her son - caption: the mother and her son killed by US artillery called in by the troop. Or a picture of an thirsty, wounded VC whose intestine had already been out for 3 days, surrounded by GIs and ARVNs - caption: the Vietnamese interpreter suggested with schadenfreuder to let the VC drink the rice pad water while an US soldier rebutted with disdain: "Any soldier who can fight for three days with his insides out can drink from my canteen any time! Not just his visual techniques that deserve credit, topics were also of excellence. This photo also explored battle field, but devoted a substantial proportion to zoom- in the traditional Vietnamese tombs of 60s, 70s, pickpocketing teen clans of Saigon, the role of Vietnamese women - as VC insurgents, prostitutes, rape victims, children and elderly in "strategic hamlets" - with insightful analysis and understanding. This book did justice. May 07, Rick rated it really liked it Recommends it for: every on with a conscience. I got this a photography book, I was not quite prepared for the commentary. The crazy part is while it was horrible enough what we did in Vietnam, you can see that our "leaders" did it to us again in Iraq Iran anyone? We had a neighbor in Escondido, that was a very intense, somewhat of a whack but always very informed. In the 60's he was in the navy and heard from a friend in the gulf of tonkin, that the "incident" never took place. Just a month or two ago, it was revealed, that yes, in truth I got this a photography book, I was not quite prepared for the commentary. Just a month or two ago, it was revealed, that yes, in truth, it was all a lie, Why aren't these men in jail? It is quick, it is horrific, we all need the reminder. Jul 19, Brian Page rated it it was amazing. It is a searing indictment of U. Feb 11, Mark Finer rated it it was amazing. Read in companion with Denis Johnson's "Tree of Smoke" and I felt it indispensible to a greater understanding of the Vietnam war.

His image statements as well as his written comments remain some of the most pungent of the many books and works of art that were stimulated by the Vietnam confl 'the overwhelming impression of Americans in Vietnam is one of stupidity rather than evil' Philip Jones Griffiths' very difficult photojournalistic essay, VIETNAM INC. His image statements as well as his written comments remain some of the most pungent of the many books and works of art that were stimulated by the Vietnam conflict. This book was originally published in and caused such furor among government agencies who saw the work as an 'unAmerican' document condemning an ongoing war, among returned veterans still trying to make sense out of the chaos and mind destroying mission from which they returned bruised and battered physically and emotionally, among families of veterans who did not return from the war machine, and from those who wanted to believe that what we did to a little country called Vietnam was warranted in the desire to spread democracy. All wars are captured in literature - whether in the eloquence of poetry from WW I and WW II and the many the novels - or films that painted America as a savior of needy people - or in music not the least of which is the 'War Requiem' by Sir Benjamin Britten - or in art. Philip Jones Griffiths used the camera to freeze the moments of the sadness, the sorrow, the errors, the devastation, and the pity of war. Now the book is back in print and should belong in every library of everyone who questions the validity of war. The photographs are brilliant achievements, sharing not only the panoply of reactions between the various branches of the military stationed in Vietnam, but also the varied reactions from the people whose country and homes were gradually being defoliated, scarred, completely destroyed or degraded. The faces of the soldiers are here as are the faces of the Vietnamese people and slowly viewing them page by page is a disturbing experience. Hopefully with this book being available once again and with the works in museums there will be enough of the message that whatever happened in Vietnam should never happen again. This in a challenging and very important portfolio whose images speak far louder than words. Grady Harp May 22, Alessandro Mariscalco rated it it was amazing. A great Vietnam photography book. Highly recommended. Jun 03, Dirk Schmitz rated it really liked it. Mar 10, Tim Scott rated it it was amazing Shelves: photography. Biting, unflinching and concise commentary draw together the haunting, beautiful and empathetic photographs that make up this book. Jun 16, Steve Ford rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Everybody. In photos and recollections from his time there between and Philip Jones Griffiths gently destroys all of the rationale the US ever had for its Vietnam adventure, in photos that while mostly less shocking than the better known iconic but isolated images of violent incidents, are more telling, for their context and continuity that shows the rape of a beautiful country and an older, gentler society. Even if you're the sort to disagree with the anti-war stance or that war is really imperialism, to see how an aggressor is perceived by both the aggressed against and an impartial observer is really important. It cuts through notions of nationalism, "protecting our freedom" or patriotism. Only the most bullheaded, jingoistic observer could come away from the shattering experience of reading this book with their ideas on Vietnam unchanged. The antis will have everything confirmed in spades, and most importantly, neutrals will most definitely no longer be neutral after it. This is the real deal and it makes Hollywood's achievements look tawdry and trivial. Woody Guthrie may have claimed his guitar killed fascists. Philip Jones Griffiths' Nikon certainly slaughters the mythology that Vietnam was a justified war. Jun 25, Iowill rated it it was amazing. Vietnam Inc. by Philip Jones Griffiths
