“We didn’t feel there was a real digging into the subject,” Tucker told me. The bodies of work they were finding were either homages to specific photographers, such as Robert Capa or Don McCullin, or books on specific battles and wars. “But other huge areas—military photography, amateur photography—these areas were missing, so we decided to go at it,” Tucker said.

The photographs in the gallery above are from the book Bosnia 1992 – 1995, available July 2012. The book will be self-published by the photographers who covered the Bosnian conflict—which began 20 years ago today—and printed in Bosnia. The captions below these photographs are the personal reflections of the photographers on their experiences in the region.

On Wednesday, Shapiro will moderate “Generation Iraq: Journalists Confront America’s War,” a conversation among five reporters at Columbia University. Among them will be the photographers Ashley Gilbertson, who worked in Iraq from 2002 until 2008, and Peter van Agtmael, who has been documenting America’s war and its consequences since 2006. Here’s a selection of van Agtmael and Gilbertson’s photographs from war, and its chilling reverberations back home.
