Collectively, these four men and one woman have taken tens of thousands of photographs from the two wars; here, they've each chosen a handful of images that, for reasons as varied as their utterly distinct styles, resonate most deeply with them. The pictures that follow, and the photographers' words that accompany them, comprise a chronicle of courage, folly, misery, hubris-in short, a look at humans at their best, their worst, their most guarded, and their most vulnerable. WARNING: Some of the images depict extreme violence."
