Photographer who shaped Vietnam war opinion dies LONDON -- Welsh-born photojournalist Philip Jones Griffiths, whose detailed study of Vietnamese culture during the war helped crystalize public opinion against the conflict, has died, a photo agency said. He was 71. Jones Griffiths, who joined the Magnum photo agency as an associate member in 1966 and later became its president, died of cancer at his London home Wednesday, the agency's commercial director Rhiannon Davies said. He was perhaps best known for his book "Vietnam Inc." -- described as one of the most detailed studies of any conflict. The book and his anti-American stance on the war made him an instant icon among European photographers. |
