[Andres Moreira · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book that photographies are a part of it, but not the most important. The history behind them are what you really see and what you like more. This book has the most beautiful color photographies I've seen, and tell you in about 70 pages, most of the recent Asia history with all its cruelty, poverty and sadness, but nevertheless, colorful places, colorful clothes and happiness can be found.
Recommend it.

Powerful photographs presented in a digestible format. The accompanying text is meant for a mainstream audience, for those who desire a deeper understanding of McCurry will have to search for it.
