AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Across more than 250 images, this work bears witness to the American occupation of Iraq between 2003 and 2004.
The Dutch photojournalist Geert van Kesteren produced these images while he was embedded with the American troops.
The photographer blends a documentary aesthetic with his personal experience of the situation, with notes drawn from his journal.
He covers the interrogations at Abu Ghraib, the excavations of mass graves, American soldiers on patrol, and daily life in Iraq, as families strive to regain a semblance of normalcy amidst the rubble.
Geert van Kesteren thus presents a complex and critical portrait of the American occupation of Iraq.

Edited by Artimo, the book printed on magazine‑like perforated-edge paper won the PhotoEspaña Book Prize.

Bibliography:
