The casualty of 9/11, the Disco Night event was obviously cancelled, the parking lot deserted. But its billboard announcement was still standing, brightly lit, for van Agtmael's camera to capture for posterity. "A chronicle of America's wars from 2006-2013. The photographs shift back and forth from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the USA, unsparingly capturing the violent, ceaseless cost, but also the mystery and the madness, the beauty and absurdity at the core of each conflict" (Publisher's blurb). "An incisive and searing look at the state of America, still caught in maelstroms of war and its aftershocks, but also a distinctly original presentation of documentary work" (Time Magazine). An absolute "must-have" title for Peter van Agtmael collectors. E-76; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 274 pages .
