Ten real lives, ten photographs, ten journeys in time: the first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Nature's final battle with Man. One photograph- or group of photographs- comes from each decade of the 20th century. All belong to the Archive of Modern Conflict. Over the last 20 years the Archive's small collection of amateur photographs has grown into one of the world's most moving image treasuries, its shelves now holding pictures of some four million lost lives. In this remarkable book, bestselling author Rory MacLean brings those lives to life again. He travels along the Archive's shelves, venturing from Siberia to Rangoon, China to Shepperton Studios, hearing forgotten voices that echo from the depths of time, picturing lives that mirror our own, and saving the stories of these pictures of you.
