With the Middle East and Asia as his far-ranging home territory, Reza Deghati 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. 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.

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. 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.
