«Ricardo García Vilanova is a man of few words, but his images say it all. In the best tradition of legendary war photographers like Don McCullin and James Nachtwey, Ricardo places us in the middle of war and reveals its intimacies. It’s not pretty. What we see here are contemporary wars, waged not on battlefields, outside of cities, but inside them, with the lives of the fighters, and what they do inextricably intertwined with those of the civilians around them. They suffer, they die, and they survive together. Ricardo shows us the face of horror itself.
» Ricardo is an exceptional witness. No one has covered the history of the Islamic State as closely and as continuously as he has. Not only has he observed its terror up close – he was also a hostage of the jihadist organization; not once, but twice. Incredibly, he survived.» [Jon Lee Anderson]
