This book contains the photographs taken by Tom Hurndall from his time in the middle East - from Jordan, Iraq, israel and finally Gaza - and is accompanied by extracts from his diary, emails and poems.
The unfolding events in the run up to the Iraq war had given Tom Hurndall, a 21-year-old British photojournalist, an increased curiosity and desire to journey to the Middle East. In February 2003, initially as an observer alongside the Human Shields, he left with a passion to make a difference, to record and photograph the truth for himself. This book follows Tom's photography from his time in the Middle East, and is accompanied by extracts from his diary, emails and poems.
