It’s like therapy. It’s healing.

I grew up in total ignorance, poverty and bigotry, and this has been a burden for me throughout my life. There is still some poison that won't go away, as much as I try to drive it out." [49]Don McCullin’s view of England is rooted in two worlds—his wartime childhood, and his youth in 1950s Finsbury Park. His first published photograph was a picture of a gang from his neighborhood, which appeared in a newspaper after a local murder. It was through the pictures of a gang of lads he had grown up with in Finsbury Park, ‘The Guv’nors’, that he made his mark in the late 1950s with a publication in The Observer. The newspaper’s interest was sparked by the killing of a policeman as a result of a fight among rival gangs and the beginning, as McCullin notes, of the way in which his life has been linked to tragedy and death.

Throughout, he’s evaluating & re-evaluating his life & what it means; he thought the book might lay his demons to rest but it just made him feel awful about the breakup of his marriage… everything fell apart, his health, his marriage & his work dried up with the changes to newspapers’ priorities in the eighties. The updated preface reveals things had improved in the years since the original publication but you can’t help but wonder that no more permanent damage was done following a life of such brutal horror & ever-present risk. a b Hodgson, Francis (19 October 2011).
