"Vietnam Inc." is a photo collection by British photographer Philip Jones Griffiths. Griffiths is one of the most representative photojournalists of the postwar period, and 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. He began his reporting on the Algerian War, and continued to report in 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 long-awaited reprint of a collection of works that is said to be a masterpiece among masterpieces in the history of war photography, published in 1971. The Vietnam War was an extraordinary war, and the scars it left on the area and its residents were extraordinary, even in the history of brutal war. Griffiths spent nearly five years reporting on this series of riots, which the anti-war movement could not tolerate even in the United States, until the peak of the late 1960s. There he saw people living modest lives, Vietnamese people who died in battle, and the soldiers who continued to take away their livelihoods. A masterpiece of photojournalism that dramatically changed the perception of war in the United States and demonstrated the power of photographs over words.
