Description
This powerful DVD by David Swanson, photographer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, allows you to experience what Swanson saw during the week and a half that he was imbedded with the Marines of Echo Company in Ramadi, Iraq when tragedy struck in April 2004. In his own words, Swanson talks about the photos, the soldiers and the overall situation. It's an unforgettable journey that brings the realities of war home.You'll follow Echo Company through firefights and ambushes, through death and destruction, and get a true sense of the men who fought...and those who fell. Searing images, compelling prose, one very special experience.
Running time, 16 minutes, color.
