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 Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62243731505539,"sku":"9780140280210","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780140280210.jpg?v=1785403719","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-girl-in-the-picture-9780140280210","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
