Baghdad Blues: A War Diary"Over a four-week period, Turnley and his companions faced the tragedy of life on the front line, alternatively welcomed and threatened by different Iraqi factions. Interrupted by attempted ambushes, unrelenting danger, and poignant moments of personal contact, his journey is recounted with insight, humanity, and humor. His exceptional gift as a photographer allowed him to create a brilliant group of images that show Iraqi life with surprising candor and beauty. And his deeply informed diary places us at his side in the heart of a war-torn landscape. The result is Baghdad Blues, a remarkable work of battlefield reporting that reveals the profound humanity on all sides of the conflict."--BOOK JACKET. |
