Sir Don McCullin grew up in north London. He worked for the Sunday Times for eighteen years and covered every major conflict in his adult lifetime until the Falklands War. The finest British photojournalist of his generation, he has received many honours and awards including the CBE. He received a knighthood in the 2017 New Year honours list. He lives in Somerset.

"He has known all forms of fear, he's 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 Maker's indulgence." -- John le Carre "If this was just a book of McCullin's war photographs it would be valuable enough. But it is much more." Sunday Correspondent "From the opening...there is hardly a dull sentence: his prose is so lively and uninhibited... An excellent book." Sunday Telegraph "McCullin is required reading if you want to know what real journalism is all about" Times Saturday Supplement "From the opening...there is hardly a dull sentence: his prose is so lively and uninhibited... An excellent book" Sunday Telegraph
