Afghanistan: A Darkness Visible - Hardcover
Afghanistan is a collection of stunning, lyrical photographs from an acclaimed, prize-winning photojournalist.
From 1994 to 2006, Seamus Murphy photographed the effects of the Taliban regime, the tumultuous years of civil war, and the historical elections following the fall of the Taliban. Alongside scenes of war and politics, his magnificent photographs capture intimate images of domesticity, work, and leisure.
Seamus Murphy has won six World Press Photo awards and has received widespread acclaim for his work in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

Review:
"Seamus Murphy sees Afghanistan's turbulent people and its magnificent landscapes with an eye that is sometimes shockingly clear. I find his images as disturbing as they are haunting and lovely. This is a beautiful and valuable book."John Simpson"Seamus Murphy is a poet with a camera who has captured the essence of life in one of the oldest countries in the world, today under attack from one of the newest. He has eloquently captured the stoicism of a people bombarded throughout history and yet still survive."Philip Jones Griffiths
