[A.J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This, Nachtwey's first book, contains images that will never leave my mind, and it shows that Nachtwey was a great photographer from the start. Even in his earliest work you find the same literate eye. Nachtwey finds symbols and allusions where a lesser photographer finds only pictures. He's not as consistent here as in his later work, but he's still masterful.

[Leigh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A large format book filled with detailed photos of conflicts around the world. Some of the photos are gruesome, some are sad. James Nachtwey is the preeminent conflict photojournalist in the world but this book doesn't show his best work. His best pictures stay in your mind for a very long time, none from this book stayed in my mind very long.
