Reza War Peace (Ciltli) _{A Photographer's Journey}

Much of human society and civilization, and certainly its history, are defined as periods of war and peace. Iranian-born humanitarian photographer and frequent National Geographic contributor Reza here conducts a remarkable and impassioned visual tour of Asia, the Middle East, and central Africa. This oversized album chronicles 30 years of turmoil and upheaval, but also the art, culture, and traditions of these regions, as well as the photographer's understanding of humanity and deep commitment to justice. His images are narrated in his own words, focusing on the costs of war and the human condition, while Sebastian Junger contributes an introduction with insight into what it's like to work with his longtime friend and collaborator.
