The truth about war, from the street, and unbiased,
By
This review is from: Iraq: Eyewitness to War - A Photojournalist's Diary (Paperback)
This book is a remarkable collection of photographs taken in places where the media have not been, or things that they were trying to hide from the public. Quite literally, it allows me to find an unbiased experience of what war really meant in Iraq, and it is a superb volume to use for teaching as well. Thumbs up!
