"Afghanistan" is a photobook by Chris Steele-Perkins (1947-), one of Britain's leading photojournalists. Born in British Burma and raised in Britain, Steele-Perkins became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1979 and has covered conflicts and social issues around the world. Known for his works such as "The Teds," which documented British youth culture, and "The Pleasure Principle," which depicted society under the Thatcher government, he is a photographer with a deep interest in and keen observational skills for people living on the fringes of society. This book compiles his records of five years of reporting in Afghanistan, a country that has been tossed about by war and political turmoil for many years. He meticulously captures not only armed soldiers, battlefields, and devastated landscapes, but also the lives of people going about their daily lives even in harsh circumstances. More than just war reporting, these photographs reveal the true face of a country with a complex history and culture, along with human dignity and the will to live. This is an important documentary by a leading Magnum photographer, conveying the multifaceted reality of Afghanistan through the expressions of people who lived through turbulent times.
