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.
