Annotation
Description <p>On June 8, 1972, nine-year-old Kim Phuc, severely burned by napalm, ran from a misplaced air strike over her village in South Vietnam and into the eye of history.

This book is the story of how that photograph came to be and the story of what happened to that girl after the blink of the camera shutter. After years in rehabilitation, and a long battle to survive in a devastated and corrupt country, Kim Phuc defected to the West in 1992 and is now a UNESCO spokesperson.</p> <p><em>The Girl in the Picture</em> is at once a riveting personal story about a victim of war and of propaganda and a groundbreaking social history that offers a rare view of everyday life in Vietnam after the war.</p>
