 War Without End by Peter Howe- The Digital Journalist
I don’t think it ever ends.” Something that Grinker discovered on her epic journey through this damaged landscape is that it doesn’t matter whether you fought in a “good” war, whether you won or lost, whether you believed in your cause or not, the trauma that is combat leaves nobody unscarred.
She photographed and interviewed its inhabitants, and became fascinated with what war does to those it uses, and this was to be the first contact with former warriors around the globe.
