THEY say the first casualty of war is truth but Philip Jones Griffiths was determined not to contribute to that statistic when he set out to photograph Vietnam. And it was Vietnam he went to.
Not the Vietnam War.
As award-winning war correspondent John Pilger says in the documentary War Photography: "Often photographers were only interested in the Vietnamese as victims. And they saw Vietnam as a war.
"Philip saw people and a country and, because of that, most of his work was intensely political and compassionate."
