Iraq: Through the Eyes of an American Soldier

Iraq: Through the Eyes of an American Soldier contains over 200 beautiful and thought provoking images as photographed by U.S. Staff Sergeant Russell Lee Klika during multiple deployments to Iraq, between 2002 and 2010.  Risking his own life to capture glimpses of the war, the people, and the country --- and sometimes shooting his camera from the back of a speeding Humvee or while machine guns fired around him --- Klika's work records history as it unfolds.  With each image, Klika seeks to "highlight the humanity" in the moments and the faces of the people: US military personnel, Iraqi soldiers, and Iraqi civilians.  With only minimal text, each page in this photo-collection lets the images speak for themselves.
