5.0 out of 5 stars A profound book, both insightful and disturbing., 24 Feb 2000
By M. Cockerham (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don McCullin has been witness to more misery than any one man has a right to, and the impact this life had had upon him to the time this book was written is clearly evident not just from the realities about which he writes, but also from the tone he uses.

Like many photographers of his ilk, he set out hoping that the pictures he took might make a difference, might make people and governments think twice about the things they do. Perhaps more than anything else, the British Government's refusal to allow him to go to the Falklands - preferring instead to send three million Mars Bars - left him with the feeling that it doesn't make a lot of difference in the end, and that, perhaps, his life has marked him rather than the world he tried to educate through his pictures.

This book is a must for anyone contemplating a career along McCullin's lines, perhaps it will make them think twice before exposing themselves needlessly to danger. It is also a must for anyone who wants to see the man behind the images that documented so much of the late Twentieth Century's most significant events. His writing style is as compelling as his images, and this book is as a result moving, and difficult to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkably perceptive and poignant story, 28 Feb 2003
By Philip Nourse (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unreasonable Behaviour: An Autobiography (Paperback)
Don McCullin has captured the very essence of war and the emotions that suffering evokes. His perceptions of war and the descriptions of the many conflicts he covered as a photojournalist are both fascinating and disturbing. This is a beautifully written autobiography, in which he also talks openly about himself and his emotions. The closing chapters of his book are especially poignant as he struggles to come to terms with work and family difficulties.

5.0 out of 5 stars no holds barred biography of a photographer at the sharp end, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
a compeling read of a career in photographing the darker side of human nature and the effects this has on a man and his life, both professional and personal. Intersperced with many of McCullins well known photographs the book should be compulsory reading for anyone wanting to take up the position of war photographic correspondent.
