Swap effect with the class name. Port St. Lucie News Ft. Inferno may be the most beautifully photographed book about death ever published. The photographer, James Nachtwey, born in Massachusetts but educated in the world's hellholes, has created a coffee-table book that is an antidote to apathy.
Inferno is almost devoid of sunshine.
It is graphic, it pulls no punches, and if you don't want to see beyond your own homespun cocoon of comfort, you will not like it. It is impossible to view the atrocities pictured on these pages and not be moved. The rich, having already extracted most of the available benefits from the lands of the poor, care increasingly less what goes on there . . . At first glance the book is difficult to look at, but those who persevere are rewarded. Nachtwey's images offer a deeper insight than any 30-second television report.
