Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Magnum photographer Larry Towell’s new book, Afghanistan, published at the end of this month. The mammoth monograph, consisting of the photographer’s work shot between 2008-2011, is an impressive chronicle of a country at the end of nearly a decade of war.
