5.0 out of 5 stars A movingly presented 'other side of the story', March 15, 2010

This review is from: Gaza Photo Album (Hardcover)

The story of the Palestinians devastated by the Gaza attacks as Israelis reacted to Hamas rocket attacks against Jewish communities is the photographic subject of the "Gaza Photo Album". An 88-page compendium of full color photographs by Kent Klich, the images comprising the "Gaza Photo Album" is provided with context by an informed and informative essay by Human Rights activist Jaber Wishah (Deputy Director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights). The result is a movingly presented 'other side of the story' which has been all to often neglected by mainstream western media.
