As photojournalists since the early 1980s, the Turnleys have covered most of the great conflicts of the past fifteen years. This is a result of their extended periods in the regions they cover, getting to know the people and the way of life.

Review, from Library Journal:  Through photographic eyes that never flinch, brothers David and Peter Turnley share with us the human spirit and the human condition made wretched by war in poor places. South Central Los Angeles in the fiery grip of rioters looks remarkably like chaotic Somalia. A Sarajevan wedding guarded by a best man with an AK-47 might be a funeral in Siberia. The people who populate so many of the Turnley photographs are wary -- not of the camera, but of the worlds they live in gone mad. The quality and value of the images result from the decision to eschew gore and the bluntly horrific in favor of the silence and loneliness of lives lived in societies on the edge. The prize-winning photojournalists seem always ready for the moment when a great image emerges, and their work, as collected here, yields a memorable and valuable book. Highly recommended.
