The Battle of Saïgon. Vietnam War. South Vietnam. 1968. Philip Jones Griffiths

Estate Stamped Limited Edition Open Edition

Jump to

Description

First published in 1971, Vietnam Inc. was crucial in changing public attitudes in the United States, turning the tide of opinion and ultimately helping to put an end to the Vietnam War. Philip Jones Griffiths’ classic account of the war was the outcome of three years reporting and is one of the most detailed surveys of any conflict. Showing us the real horrors of the war as well as a study of Vietnamese rural life, Griffiths created a compelling argument against the de-humanizing power of the modern war machine and American imperialism.
