Photographer Philip Jones Griffiths in VietnamHand Play 1
Philip Jones Griffiths (18 February 1936 – 19 March 2008) was a Welsh photojournalist known for his coverage of the Vietnam war.
In a career that took him to more than 120 countries, he covered everything from Buddhism in Cambodia, drought in India, poverty in Texas and the legacy of the Gulf war in Kuwait. He was also president of the famous Magnum picture agency for five years.
From 1966 to 1971, Mr Jones Griffiths reported on the Vietnam war, publishing a photojournalism book focused on the suffering of civilians. Vietnam Inc galvanised the anti-war movement in the United States and helped to turn public opinion against the war. It is now hailed as a classic of photojournalism.

really want more than life, more
