    • A photographer's search for the limelight

      by - 2001-08-31  Rated 1 stars
      What can be said of a person who hangs around a gang of killers for years? Ron Haviv has done just this. Fear and death become trivialized when expensive and stylized books become available for the commercial market. There are photographs that exist from the past that document murder. These photographs were made by the murderers themselves in order to celebrate their deeds or by the victims in an attempt to warn the world of the horrors that had taken place.Haviv was neither a victim nor a spy taking photographs on the sly from the distance. Haviv was in the middle of this carnage. He was the court photographer for a twisted band of murderers, winning their confidence over a period of years. He did not attempt to stop the crimes, he photographed them instead. He did not run from this vicious mob but instead he chose to remain with them.In the book he is referred to as having been brave. I choose to think of him as an opportunist of the highest degree. Shame!!

    • Coffee Table Book with a Twist

      by Misha (Staten Island, NY) - 2001-02-23  Rated 5 stars
      It's hard top describe or explain, but the very impact of the horrific photos and the tender essays which accompany them add substantially to the overall beauty of the work. This is definitely something to leave on the coffee table, with the expectation of rousing some stirring (possibly controversial) conversation.Haviv's displaying a tremendous ability to see through the "fog of war" that has routinely plagued journalists (photojournalists and written word journalists) since the American Civil War. His eye for the poignant photo speaks, as a picture is supposed to, thousands of words; his words paint the pictures far more deeper than what the superficial eye can see. This is as important a document of the Balkan War, or of war in general, as has ever been put to print. The price of the book should not be considered too daunting - the price of war, however, should be.

    • Into the World of War

      by - 2000-12-30  Rated 5 stars
      The compelling pictures of Ron Haviv's book are a historical document of a war whose atrocities have been compared to those of World War II. Haviv takes us through a wild and vivid journey in the pages of his Balkan War Journal, revealing the kind of passion and emotion in his images that make it impossible not to see the photographer within the photograph. The essays which accompany the pictures work as an introspective supplement for making the Balkan war more poignant to the reader. These essays, along with the text chronology of the war, are key in differentiating this collection of photographs from an ordinary photobook and helping the reader understand the order of events. As such, this book serves as not merely a journal, but more importantly a historical record. Blood and Honey is the window through which we can witness the tragic reality of the inhabitants of the former Yugoslavia. Moreover, it is a reminder to all of us that there are those that choose to go to war and there are those that have no choice. Reading Blood and Honey it is clear that Haviv is one of the brave souls that never had a choice. Definitely get this book.
