For the past 25 years; Henry Rollins has photographed the most desolate and inhospitable corners of the Earth; and his powerful vision has been harnessed in this photographic essay. Though he is known for the raw power of his expression; Rollins has shown that the greatest statements can be made with the simplest of acts: to bear witness; to be present. This collection is an invitation to do the same. The book pairs Rollinsrsquo; visceral photographs—taken in Afghanistan; Bangladesh; Burma; Cambodia; India; Indonesia; Kuwait; Kyrgyzstan; Mali; Nepal; North Korea; Northern Ireland; Saudi Arabia; Siberia; Sri Lanka; Thailand; and Vietnam—with writings that provide context and political commentary and thereby magnify the impact of the images. This is a visual testimony of anger; suffering; resilience in the face of tragedy; and the quiet; stronger forces of healing; solidarity; faith; and joy.
