The Destruction Business is Don McCullin's first book. A chance encounter with a local gang in Finsbury Park and the subsequent sale to the Observer newspaper of a photograph he made of them set McCullin on a course that would lead him to cover the conflicts in Biafra, Cyprus, Vietnam, Cambodia, Beirut, and Northern Ireland. The Destruction Business is split into three sections, with photographs from these wars flanking his pictures taken in England.

First edition; 8vo (241 x 183 mm, 9½ x 7¼ in); black-and-white photographs; light toning to edges, plain endpapers with minor offsetting from flaps, black cloth-covered boards, titles to spine in gold, extremities rubbed, photo-illustrated dust-jacket printed in black, light wear, lightly marked, head and foot of spine touched up in black on verso, a very good copy; 96pp.

The Photobook: A History II, p249.
