With the Middle East and Asia as his far-ranging home
territory, Reza has chronicled 30 years of turmoil, hope,
and splendor for a host of international publications
including Newsweek, Time, Geo, and National Geographic
magazines. Now, he displays some of his most dramatic works
in Reza War and Peace–a powerful and moving photo
collection that illuminates current events and recent
history in places of conflict we see represented in the
news every day. These remarkable pictures convey torment
and upheaval, but also the art, culture, and traditions of
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and other areas–as well as the
photographer’s understanding of humanity and deep
commitment to justice. Reza trains his lens not just on war
and conflict, but also on friendship and loyalty, family
life and love. The book follows Reza’s photographic career
and is narrated in his own words, focusing our attention on
the costs of war and the human condition. Sebastian Junger
contributes an introduction, offering intimate insight into
what it's like to work with his longtime friend and
collaborator. Despite the challenging subject matter, Reza’s message is
not despairing, but ultimately hopeful. For readers
interested in world history, current events, and the human
experience, this photographic tour de force is a must.
