ÿþ"Aftermath: Bosnia's Long Road to Peace" explores the
human costs and consequences of war—not on the
battlefield, but in its aftermath, which is where the
painful work of true peace making begins. Even though
Bosnia’s bitter war ended in 1995, the country is
still deep in the throes of a struggle to rebuild a
civil society in the hope that the cycles of
violence that have wreaked havoc in its past will not
re-emerge to threaten the nation's future.


"Since the fall of 2000, I have been documenting the
social, political and economic upheavals that have
been part of Bosnia’s struggle to deal with the
aftermath of a war marked by ethnic cleansing and the
worst genocide in Europe since the end of World War
II. Although photojournalists provided remarkable
images for the world of that war, I believe they did
not tell the whole story that the media must also be
responsible for documenting what happens after the
guns and bombs and the madness of violence have
finally been stilled. War is only half the story. It
does not teach us about peace. That part of the tale
unfolds only in its aftermath, and I believe that it
is as newsworthy as war itself."
