    Inferno
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 January 2010*

Why Did I buy this?I dont know why I ordered this book,when I could've ordered something that celebrates life, anything that celebrates life. It was expensive, very heavy and does not fit into my bookshelf, so I have to keep it out on a table covered with a large handkerchief.I have a few books on photography:Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Adams, Walker Evans, Man Ray etc.Before I ordered Inferno, I went through some videos of James in action and some reviews. It is a fact that I had to face, I could not turn a blind eye to my mind which wanted this book in my shelf (or on my table for that matter).Its bad news, and somehow humans in a peculiar and ironic way like bad news(subconsciously), its a fact.When to open it?'The bad news book' arrived at my doorstep a few days ago, except for a few random pages, I haven't gone through the whole book, I feel that there is a time to open the book, like the opening of hell's gates.I dont urge anyone to buy this book unless they really want to see what James saw with his eyes. When you open the book you will find that James had no artistic notion about what he shot, the photos are spontaneous and the ones I saw really really sucked my energy away.There is so much sadness, gruesome depressing sadness in almost all the pages. Its not a book where you just open it everyday and happily go through the images.Quality of the Book?The prints are large and the photos are printed on matte paper.The paper is heavy gauge and would last a lot of abuse.The book is spine bound very well with a cloth cover with embossed letters 'Inferno' with authors name.Ironically I don't regret ordering it.

    Extraordinary
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 July 2015*

This brutal, horrific, important book is mentally and emotionally hard to absorb in even multiple sittings. The pictures, as one would expect from Nachtwey, are extraordinary, haunting, moving and often somehow beautiful. Few people will have witnessed so much inhumanity in so much of the world and fewer have lived to share the depths of that depravity with others.The printing and binding are up to snuff and do the work justice.In short, this is a must-purchase for anyone interested in photography - and not just war or documentary photography - and for anyone else interested in the wider world and recent world history. It's an incredibly important, poignant  book.

    A shocking book by a master reporter
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 December 2011*

This book is a masterpiece of what I would call "political" photography. Nachtwey goes to war, or follows war's footsteps, and closes in on his subjects where most others would turn away. He prevails over his own emotions in order to show us the horrors of the world. He feels he has to do it, as he explains in interviews (see DVD 
  
War Photographer [DVD] [2001] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC







  
  
    ]) because if he does not, who will? He is humble, understated and brilliant. The book contains only B&W pictures, is big and heavy and expensive, and it is probably the best photo reportage book you will ever buy. It certainly is for me.
