It isn't easy to go through, but his images are so redoubtable, it is impossible to ignore them. Think of it as a lesson in how to have to the stomach to take pictures of incredible suffering. You can see why he changed his title from War Photographer to Anti-War Photographer. It makes me ponder how this sort of suffering can be happening while we are wasting so much money and energy on idiotic pursuits. I recommend the book, but I doubt that it should be next to "Martha Stewart Entertaining" on your coffee table. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com
