Photojournalists on War

Presenting previously unpublished photographs by an incredibly diverse group of top global news photographers, Photojournalists on War by Michael Kamber, with an introduction by Dexter Filkins, puts forth a groundbreaking visual and oral history of America’s ten-year conflict in the Middle East. Kamber interviews photojournalists from many leading news organizations, including Agence France-Presse, the Associated Press, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Times, Magnum, Newsweek, the New York Times, Paris Match, Reuters, Time, the Times of London, VII Photo Agency and the Washington Post, to create the most comprehensive collection of eyewitness accounts of the Iraq War yet published. 

These in-depth interviews offer first-person, frontline reports of the war as it unfolds, including key moments such as the battle for Fallujah, the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue and the Haditha massacre. The hard-hitting accounts and photographs, rare in the annals of any war, reveal inside stories and untold tales behind the headlines in Iraq. Kamber, the founder of the Bronx Documentary Center, has worked as a photojournalist for more than 25 years and covered the war in Iraq as a writer and photographer for The New York Times from 2003 to 2012.
