He has known all forms of fear, hes an expert in it. He has come back from God knows how many brinks, all different. His experience in a Ugandan prison alone would be enough to unhinge another man - like myself, as a matter of fact - for good. He has been forfeit more times than he can remember, he says. But he is not bragging. Talking this way about death and risk, he seems to be implying quite consciously that by testing his luck each time, he is testing his Makers indulgence - John le Carre

McCullin is required reading if you want to know what real journalism is all about - The Times

From the opening...there is hardly a dull sentence: his prose is so lively and uninhibited... An excellent book - Sunday Telegraph

About the Author

Don McCullin grew up in North London and went to work in a cartoon animation studio in Mayfair before the Observer newspaper bought one of his gangland pictures and set him on the road as photojournalist. He moved to the Sunday Times, where he worked for eighteen years. His photographs of almost every major conflict in his adult lifetime until the Falklands war, provide some of the most potent images of the twentieth century. His pictures are in major museum collections all over the world. He is the holder of many honours and awards, including the C.B.E.

P REFACE

It has been some time since the original publication of Unreasonable Behaviour and I have to say that I was truly staggered by the response that it received. I thought that publishing the facts about my personal life would help to chase away some of my demons. Instead, all I was left with was the pain and guilt that I brought upon myself by betraying my beautiful wife and family. But now, twelve years on, I am extremely happy. At this moment in time I have four lovely grandchildren and a lovely new lady in my life.

I am still very much the photographer and working on all kinds of projects. Ive presented three major exhibitions in France, where photography is, thankfully, still held in high regard, and last year, at the United Nations HQ in New York, I put together a major exhibition highlighting the AIDS crisis sweeping the southern continent of Africa. I have also published three new books and I am now working on a very exciting new project on the tribes of Southern Ethiopia.

So it all looks like I am, at last, beginning to pick up the pieces of my life once again. As for the future, I intend to keep working and, above all, try to be more adaptable to an ever-changing world.

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

Among a host of people who have opened doors for me to enlarge my life, I should like to acknowledge Bryn Campbell, the Observer picture editor, who first sent me to war; Philip Jones Griffiths, a freelance photo-journalist who encouraged me and taught me a great deal in the early days; Cornell Capa, who promoted my work in America; Mark Haworth-Booth for presenting my first exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; and Mark Shand, my favourite travelling companion and friend, who has shared some dangers with me since I abandoned the worlds battle fronts.

Many other colleagues and friends have been overwhelmingly generous with their help in bringing a measure of depth and accuracy to this book, going to untold trouble to jog my memory about details of events encountered together, or providing me with their own accounts of situations that I saw from only one side. With apologies to anyone I may have inadvertently omitted, I offer grateful thanks in this respect to David Blundy, Tony Clifton, Peter Crookston, Hunter Davies, Jonathan Dimbleby, Peter Dunn, Harry Evans, James Fox, Frank Hermann, Michael Herr, Ian Jack, Philip Jacobson, David King, Phillip Knightley, John le Carr, David Leitch, Norman Lewis, Magnus Linklater, Cal McCrystal, Martin Meredith, Alex Mitchell, Brian Moynahan, Eric Newby, Michael Nicholson, Edna OBrien, Peter Pringle, Michael Rand, Murray Sayle, William Shawcross, Colin Simpson, Godfrey Smith, Sally Soames, Antony Terry, Bryan Wharton and Francis Wyndham.

Nick Wheeler, Clive Limpkin and Roger Cooper were kind enough to let me use some of their photographs in the book, and besides my own I have taken the liberty of including a few other pictures given to me by people who sadly are no longer around to ask permission.

Above all I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Lew Chester for his patience and dedication in bringing some order and direction to my life, and to Lyn Owen for her tireless assistance in the preparation of the script.

To Tony Colwell, my editor at Cape, go my special thanks for making it all possible.

T HE B ATTLEGROUND

T WO BROTHERS MET on a desert battleground on a February day in 1970. The elder was myself, covering my twentieth battle campaign as a photo-journalist; the younger, engaged in skirmishing with horse- and camel-mounted tribesmen of that remote African country, was my little brother Michael, then Sergeant, now Adjutant McCullin of the French Foreign Legion. For the short hour in which I could touch down in this arid spot, we met only to disagree.
