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.\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780140280210\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43634622595135,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/25689873482237.jpg?v=1785382758","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/the-girl-in-the-picture-pbk-the-kim-phuc-story-by-denise-chong","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
