British photographer Philip Jones Griffiths' photo book "Vietnam Inc. (First Edition)". Griffiths is one of the leading photojournalists of the postwar period, having served as president of Magnum Photos for five years. After studying pharmacy at the University of Liverpool, he worked at a pharmacy while working part-time as a photographer, and went freelance at the age of 25. Starting with his coverage of the Algerian War, he continued to cover Asia for a long time, based in Cambodia and Thailand, and since the 1980s he has been active in New York. This book is a collection of works published in 1971, which is said to be a masterpiece among masterpieces in the history of war photography. The Vietnam War was an extraordinary war, leaving an extraordinary scar on the area and its residents. Griffiths covered this series of riots, which the anti-war movement could not endure even in the United States, for nearly five years, from the peak of the late 1960s. There he saw the people living modest lives, the Vietnamese who died in battle, and the soldiers who continued to take away their livelihoods. This masterpiece of photojournalism changed America's perception of the war and demonstrated the power of "photography" over "words." A reprint has also been published, but this is the first edition from 1971.
