Description from the seller
Invasion 68: Prague is a powerful photographic documentation by renowned Czech Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka, capturing the dramatic events of August 1968, when Soviet-led Warsaw Pact troops invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring.
Taken at great personal risk and initially published anonymously, these black-and-white images reveal the confusion, fear, defiance, and resilience of the Czech people in the face of military occupation. Koudelka’s stark and emotionally charged photographs portray deserted streets, peaceful protests, tanks rolling through city squares, and silent acts of resistance, offering a raw and unfiltered view of history.
More than a visual record, Invasion 68 is a timeless testament to the human spirit, political oppression, and the power of photography as witness.
