Iraq war photographer chronicles experiences in new book

By Patrick

Press photographer Ashley Gilbertson, one of the longest-serving photojournalists in Iraq, has released a book about his experiences with his images from the war.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot: A Photographer’s Chronicle of the Iraq War tells the story of how he grew from “hard-drinking bravado to the grave realism of a scarred survivor”.
