This Is Our War

This book provides 250 glimpses into life in wartime Iraq, a singularly intimate soldier's-eye view of their war. Neither pro-war nor anti-war, this book is what life is really like for the troops: a true, honest glimpse into the banal and the breathtaking, the horrific and the honourable, the silly and sad and heartbreaking.

This is the first digital war, not because of computer-guided smart bombs or CNN videophones, but because of the simple, inexpensive digital camera, a part of daily life for soldiers in Iraq and the way that these soldiers have shared that life – with their friends and family, with one another, and now in 'This Is Our War'. These photos and in-depth narrative captions were culled from the ten thousand images that GQ collected, creating a striking, moving, and revealing work of contemporary history.

Part Day in the Life, part Medal of Honour, and part War Letters, this book is an instant snapshot of history in the making.
