Unreasonable Behaviour. An Autobiography.

This is the autobiography of the war photographer, Don McCullin, a life shaped by and committed to recording wars and revolutions. From the opening when McCullin recounts his feelings as an underprivileged child separated from his family during three wartime evacuations, through to the final irony of being fired by his editor, he has written a personal portrait of the post-war world. His reputation was established with "The Sunday Times" assignments in Vietnam, Biafra, Cambodia, Afghanistan and other places and in part this book is a tribute to colleagues sadly lost. He has continued to work as a photographer undertaking lifestyle assignments for magazines and colour supplements although his bitterness and resentment against the British authorities over his inability to gain a place with the Falklands Task Force underlines the emptiness of life away from the frontline.
