Following the events of September 11, 2001, the United States and other countries around the world have focused their military efforts and attention on the country of Afghanistan. This book deals exclusively with three months of war in Afghanistan from October through December 2001. It shows the impact of this war and the changes the fighting has had on the country of Afghanistan and its people due to the political, economic and social conflicts with the US and its allies.

He's also been a participant in a documentary on the Balkans and a French television program on war photographers broadcast on CNN. He's also been exhibited at the United Nations, The Newseum, The Council on Foreign Relations, and the United Nations and his photographs have earned him several World Press, Picture of the Year and Overseas Press Club awards and the Leica Medal of Excellence.

The shock The beauty The truth - War Reporting at its best
3. September 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Success in war reporting can be excruciatingly elusive. Especially in military photo journalism. In America, where the vast majority takes a car to drive to the burger joint two blocks down the road, it can be a Sisyphus task to invoke deep emotions for human suffering. Of course, I am not taking into account tears - the cheapest and easiest commodity that will secure an Oscar in no time. I am talking about emotions and feelings that make one understand that there is something terribly wrong with humankind. Mr. Haviv and Mrs. Ozernoy have successfully invoked exactly the latter.
I believe that this book does not just introduce one to the roots, core and consequences of the war in Afghanistan. It laces one into the complex fiber of life that almost does not want to part from medieval. Mr. Haviv has captured an ethnos in a conflict that is intertwined with the essence and color of hard land called Afghanistan. Mrs. Ozernoy added descriptive passages that make one wish for an ability to rebel against passivity of comfortable nations.
I was stunned to actually feel uncomfortable when I was looking at the pictures of troops' movements. I almost felt dust penetrating my retina. Then my eyes were soothed by pleasing colors of Afghan fabrics that were part of a picture depicting life of women there.
There are many brilliant allegories in this book. When understood, they will help us all live peacefully.

A mind-opening experience
30. August 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book was recommended by a friend of mine, who said the book really opened her mind to the people of the country of Afghanistan and to their struggles. After reading this book, I see what she means! The pictures are beautiful, in a haunting way, and the images will stay in my mind for a long time. After hearing so much about Afghanistan on the news, it was refreshing to finally see what life is like for the real people. The commentary is sharp and savyy and went well with the photos. This is one book I won't forget because I learned so much from it!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Mr. Haviv and Ms. Ozernoy have captured the complexity of modern Afghanistan poignantly. The journal is reflective and thought-provoking, and the photographs are both tragic and beautiful. A must buy for someone who wants a real glimpse of Afghanistan and its people during the intitial stages of the war.
