- Bombed Townscape, Herat, Afghanistan, 1992. Afghan War Refugees return to their war-torn neighborhood which was ravaged by twelve years of war.It looked like Dresden after the Second World War. But the war with the Soviet Union had ended, and families returned to rebuild their homes. "I was on a hill, before me a city the Russians had bombed for 10 years; devastation as far as the eye could see. I was there when the first few came back. Since then, it's completely filled. You can't recognise it. I photographed this over five or six days, at different times of day." from 'Steve McCurry' by Anthony Bannon"A young man returns to his hometown of Herat, in western Afghanistan, after living in Iran for sixteen years, only to find his neighborhood and home completely in ruins. He had to live in a tent where his home once stood. The Afghan refugee population was at one time the largest in the world. At least two million refugees have returned mostly from neighboring Iran and Pakistan."- George Eastman HouseBombed Townscape, Herat, Afghanistan, 1992National Geographic, Richard Mackenzie, Afghanistan's Uneasy Peace, 1993, October 1993, 184 (4), 58-59, NYC6225, MCS1994002 K215, Phaidon, 55, South Southeast, In the Shadow of Mountains, Iconic Images, final book_iconic, final print_milan
