A diary of America's wars with photographer Peter van Agtmael
— He's spent more than two decades documenting the realities of war, including years working alongside US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. But photographer Peter van Agtmael's work goes beyond the battlefield.

He spoke to us in Perspective.
