Beyond Bullets: A Photo Journal of Afghanistan by Rafal Gerszak

3.0

I found this book to be very timely in its content, and the photographs seem very true to every day life in Afghanistan. The book is formatted as a journal of the author with each entry centered around an individual photograph. This format works well, though the passage of time is hard to judge with the entries spaced sometimes montns apart. The writing easily engages the reader and additional sidebars with factual information about Afghanistan and its people and customs allow insight into a far-off place. Overall I enjoyed the book, but wasn't a huge fan of the format.
