About this Item

Copy 529 of 750 copies. Perfect condition. Signed by Jens Liebchen to back page, 2002. "The premise of Liebchen's brilliant, intriguing little book is that the photo-reportage of war, as Ian Jeffrey points out in the introduction, is a genre, a set of predictable conventions, 'no more authentic than the War Film or the Western.' Liebchen's postmodern reportage tells us to trust nothing--neither tale nor teller, and certainly not the postmodern deconstruction of both." (Parr and Badger, The Photobook: A History, Vol. I).
