A close up view of the Afghan peopleBy SMGPeter Bussians beautiful; evocative photographs answer the question that people have asked on my home visits during 14 years of working in Afghanistan: Why do you keep returning to a country that is so difficult and dangerous to work in?Its the people! How can you not help people who continuously face and overcome adversity caused by war; natural disasters and poverty? Peter shows us Afghans who get up every morning to work at difficult jobs to feed their families; travel many miles to get health care for their sick and help rebuild schools so that their children can be educated. His photos of the terrible conditions Afghans have faced and the gains they are making in rebuilding their country explain why international humanitarian workers (and former Peace Corps Volunteers who worked in Afghanistan long ago) have returned there for multiple assignments. --Suzanne M.

SheaAbsolutely beautiful photographs; capturing the beauty of a people and land that has sadly been so decimated by war.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful BookBy CindyI really love this book. So often we have a very limited view or idea about a country like Afghanistan and its people. This book fills in the blanks; shows the faces of people; the beauty of the land and hope that we all long for. I love Peters perspective that he shares in the book. I hope you will purchase this book and support this photographer that has invested so much.
