Photographs by Tyler Hicks Essays by John F. Burns and Ian Fisher From the devastation of the World Trade Center in 2001 through the mountains of Afghanistan to the conflict in Iraq, Tyler Hicks’ images have made history as well as recorded it. His pictures became internationally known in the pages of The New York Times, as well as in Paris-Match, Stern, The London Sunday Times, and others. This extraordinary compilation of documentary photographs taken over the last few years shows us the war up close—soldiers from all sides, in battle and its bloody aftermath, destroyed cities, archeological treasures, refugees and battered civilians, and the shocking images of reprisal that have brought home the savagery of emotion that characterizes the continuing confrontation. Presented here are fascinating personal photographs of Saddam Hussein as a young man, looted hand-colored renderings of his fantasy palaces, assassinations, and acts of salvation. Hicks shows how the stark but dignified realities of everyday life coexist with pathos and grace during the conflict and its aftermath. About the Authors: TYLER HICKS was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in July 1969. He graduated with a degree in journalism from Boston University in 1992 and went on to work as chief photographer at the Troy Daily News, Ohio, and later The Wilmington Morning Star, North Carolina, where he spent four years as a staff photographer. Hicks left the paper in 1999 to pursue his passion for international news, covering regions as varied as Kosovo and Kenya, on contract for The New York Times. Following 9/11, he traveled to Afghanistan to document the war against the Taliban for The Times and Getty Images. Hicks was the recipient of the 2001 ICP Infinity Award for Photojournalism for his coverage in Afghanistan, and has received numerous other awards, including World Press and Pictures of the Year. Since becoming a New York Times staff photographer in 2002, Hicks continues to travel to Iraq, where he covers the ongoing conflict from Baghdad. Though constantly on reportage, Hicks retains his residence in New York City. JOHN BURNS has served as the The New York Times Baghdad bureau chief since the start of the U.S. conflict in Iraq in March of 2003. He has twice received the Pulitzer Prize, first in 1997 for his reporting on the Taliban in Afghanistan, and again in 1993 for his coverage of the strife and destruction in Bosnia. Burns has been with The Times since 1975, and since that time has been a bureau chief in New Delhi, Toronto, Peking, Moscow and Johannesburg. IAN FISHER graduated from Boston University in 1987. He worked at The Lowell Sun in Massachusetts until 1990, when he joined The New York Times. After being promoted to reporter in 1992, he covered the Bronx, Albany, and Washington D.C. In 1998, he became The New York Times East Africa Bureau Chief, based in Kenya, and later the Balkans` bureau chief in 2001. Following the terrorist attacks on 9/11 he became The New York Times bureau chief in Rome, where he currently resides with his wife and two children.
