  "account": "Don McCullin, the renowned photographer at 90, can still deliver a powerful stare. At the Baden Photo Festival in Austria, he shared his experiences and reflections on Vietnam, his third tour of the conflict. The forthcoming monograph from GOST Books, his last ever book, features around 100 black-and-white and over 20 color images, including some never previously published. McCullin revisited his archive, revealing lesser-known photographs of Vietnamese civilians and domestic life disrupted by war. The book combines familiar images of American soldiers and the Battle of Hue with those of civilians, offering a more comprehensive depiction of the conflict. McCullin, who witnessed the Tet Offensive and lived alongside American Marines, emphasizes the dignity and vulnerability amidst death and destruction. His photography, born from a desire to avoid his own fate in poverty-ridden Finsbury Park, London, provides an unsettling yet insightful perspective on the Vietnam War.",
