Purple Hearts: Back From Iraq

No issue involving the Iraq war has been more disturbing or

under-covered than the stories and photographs of the thousands

of returning wounded soldiers. Nina Berman's book 'Purple Hearts:

Back From Iraq' is an extraordinary accomplishment. She says of her

subjects, " These soldiers -- all volunteer warriors -- have

returned home to heal their wounds and consider life, forever

scarred and changed. " Her photographs can be seen at Redux Gallery,

116 E. 16th Street in New York City from 10-6 M-F ( 212.253.0399)

through October 8th, and at her website, where the book

can also be ordered:
