The Futility of War
Ron Tandberg
At the beginning of what would be a 20-year conflict, Ron Tandberg foresees the great risk in going to war against ideologically driven insurgents. As his series of images suggests, there is always a danger in such a battle of beliefs that where one opponent falls, many more will rise. And so it came to pass.
