Reza War and Peace
With the Middle East and Asia as his far-ranging home territory, Reza Deghati's photos chronicle 30 years of turmoil, hope, and splendor. Now some of his most dramatic works are in this volume, filled with pictures that convey torment and upheaval, but also the art, culture, and traditions of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and other areas—and the photographer's understanding of humanity and deep commitment to justice.
Reza's own narration focuses attention on the costs of war and the human condition. For readers interested in world history, current events, and the human experience, this photographic tour de force is a must.

Comments about Reza War and Peace:
The beauty in this outstanding book is not restricted to the photography, it includes the stories behind them. It is my most treasured and loved book. It never fails to affect people I show it to, and opens their eyes to a world beyond their own mundane confines.
