As New with a small abrasion on the back cover and very light shelf wear. 96 pages including two gate-folds; 47 color photographic plates; 13 x 11.5 inches. SIGNED BY NORFOLK. Afghanistan has been ravaged by war for more than twenty years; the Soviet Union, the Mujaheddin, the Taliban and the United States have all played their part. Norfolk's powerfully beautiful images reveal utter devastation on a vast and overwhelming scale. The sheer length of the war in Afghanistan means the ruins have a bizarre layering; different moments of destruction lying like sedimentary strata on top of each other.

Wiley, 2008. Hardcover with DJ. First edition AS NEW. 320 pages; 8 pages of color photos; 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Publisher's press release laid in. A prize-winning journalist tells the troubling story of Canadian Omar Khadr, who has spent a quarter of his life growing up in Guantanamo Bay. Khadr was captured in Afghanistan in July 2002 at the age of 15. Accused by the Pentagon of throwing a grenade that killed U.S. a soldier, Khadr faces charges of conspiracy and murder. His case is set to be the first war crimes trial since World War II. In Guantanamo's Child, Shephard traces Khadr's roots in Canada, Pakistan and Afghanistan, growing up surrounded by al Qaeda's elite. Khadr's story goes to the heart of what's wrong with the U.S. administration's post-9/11 policies and why Canada is guilty by association. His story explains how the lack of due process can create victims and lead to retribution, and instead of justice, fuel terrorism. FREE SHIPPING within the US by Media Mail.
