Description

Sebastião Salgado. Kuwait. A Desert on Fire is the first monograph of the astonishing 1991 series. In January and February 1991, as United States-led coalition forces drove Iraqi troops out of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein’s retreating military retaliated by setting fire to hundreds of oil wells. Salgado captured the terrifying scale of this “huge theater the size of the planet” at great personal risk, eventually winning the Oskar Barnack Award for the work. This 208-page hardcover volume by TASCHEN serves as both a major document of modern history and an extraordinary photographic portfolio.
