"[In Liberia] they stripped this man down to his underwear and we realized that they were going to execute him. It happened so fast.
As I developed these pictures I thought: I hope these pictures come out because they're going to be very dynamic images. But I also felt physically sick because someone had just been murdered in front of me. I wanted for my own sense of ego to please my bosses and my organization, but on the other hand it was at the expense of a man's life." - CORRINE DUFKA
"I spent some time with one family and this one girl. I went out with her to gather wood in the woods and she sat on a tree stump and she sang a song to me, and so I have a picture of that, of her crouched down on a tree stump in the forest setting. Moments like this show me that she's a person.
That's always been my theme of why I go to these places. It's not to cover the war; it's really about the people." - YUNGHI KIM
"I was this little guy from Fort Wayne, Indiana and suddenly I knew that my images were going to be showing 30 million people every week what was happening in the world.
I would wake up Monday morning and a cover that I had on Newsweek would be in the newsstand - my photograph of a starving child in Somalia, in Baidoa, a place where a hundred people were dying of starvation every day was on the cover. 30 million people were going to see that image, and that gave me a sense of being alive, it gave me a sense of existing." - PETER TURNLEY

The "Mile of Death". During the night of the 25th of February and the day of the 26th of February, 1991, Allied aircraft strafed and bombed a stretch of the Jahra Highway. A large convoy of Iraqis were trying to make a haste retreat back to Baghdad, as the Allied Forces retook Kuwait City. Many Iraqis were killed on this highway. Estimates vary on the precise number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War. Very few images of Iraqi dead have been previously published.
