Sinossi
A migliaia di chilometri dalle sabbie del deserto iracheno, agli Stati uniti viene raramente ricordato di essere un paese in guerra. A un crescente numero di famiglie in tutta America, tuttavia, la guerra appare molto reale. I soldati caduti in Iraq e seppelliti ogni settimana. I loro funerali non risultano come eventi drammatici di responsabilità nazionale, o episodi su cui riflettere per chi non è toccato dalla guerra. Molte famiglie vogliono soffrire privatamente. La maggior parte vuole ricordare i propri figli e i propri padri come eroi, morti per la causa degli Stati Uniti. Ma dietro la magnificenza e la tradizione delle cerimonie militari, rimane solo il senso di un'enorme perdita, dolore, e a volte persino il dubbio.

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Used - Good. America lies thousands of miles from the deserts of Iraq, and its civilians are rarely truly forced to confront the fact that it is a nation at war, and has been for more than four years. But every day, the list of casualties grows longer. The men and women killed in Iraq are buried every week back home. Their funerals are not dramatic national events, and they are rarely sites of political soul searching. Most families want to grieve privately, to remember their children as they knew them and as heroes who have died for all of us. Photographer Andrew Lichtenstein says of his prizewinning work, 'These funerals are about paying tribute to promising lives cut drastically short. There are some funerals that I never take the camera out of the bag. And then there are others that allow us, I can only hope, to begin to feel the true cost of war.' Lichtenstein's work has appeared in the 'New York Times, Time, Newsweek, Harper's, ' the 'Atlantic Monthly' and'Aperture,' among other publications. In this powerful new portrait of grief and sacrifice, he documents the families of eight American soldiers killed in Iraq. With interviews of the families by StoryCorps oral history producer and 'Slate' and MSNBC contributor Zachary Barr. 'Never Coming Home' is a project by Andrew Lichtenstein and Robert Peacock. Text by Andrew Lichtenstein, Zachary Barr. Front and back cover have minor shelf wear mostly around edges and a few faint scratch marks. Inside of book is in great shape.

Never coming home. Interview by Zachary Barr.
Da: Fundus-Online GbR Borkert Schwarz Zerfaß, Berlin, Germania
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Gut. 72 S. Einband leicht berieben. - For this book, from the fall of 2003 until the end of 2006, I attended between fifty and sixty funerals, I do not know, I never counted. Zachary Barr, a radio journalist, and I also visited ten families across America who had lost a brother, father, son, or husband, in Iraq. Some grieving families wholeheartedly supported the war, and the Bush administration for starting it. A few were very angry with the government. But for most, their loved one's death was deeply personal, beyond politics. It was from these families that I learned the most. They helped to show me what we have really lost: the incredible, priceless human sacrifice of war. ISBN 9788881586370 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Mit zahlr. farb. Abb. Originalbroschur.
