The Human Face of Tragedy

Visiting Bosnia as a young photographer more than thirty years ago, Steve Horn was charmed by the congenial Bosnians, their beautiful landscape, and their cultural heritage. When the Balkan War broke out in 1992, he could hardly believe the reports of unbridled cruelty and destruction in that same country. More than thirty years afterward, Horn returned to the Balkans to photograph the aftermath of war and listen to the stories of the survivors. Especially touching are his interviews with some of the same people he photographed as children in a time of peace. Essays set the context for the eloquent black and white photographs.
