Her photograph-one of the most unforgettable images of the twentieth century-was seen around the world and helped turn public opinion against the Vietnam War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the story of how that photograph came to be-and the story of what happened to that girl after the camera shutter closed. Award-winning biographer Denise Chong's portrait of Kim Phuc-who eventually defected to Canada and is now a UNESCO spokesperson-is a rare look at the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese point-of-view and one of the only books to describe everyday life in the wake of this war and to probe its lingering effects on all its participants.","brand":"Penguin Putnam Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49399845290327,"sku":"9780140280210","price":22.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-girl-in-the-picture-9780140280210","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
