Peter van Agtmael

"There is a madness to war, particularly the two current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are filled with contradiction and question. In his first photo book, 2nd Tour, Hope I Don’t Die, regular FADER contributor Peter van Agtmael gives us deep insight into the psychological effects on the wars’ soldiers. Their faces look out, troubled and traumatized, anxious and contemplative, while their words, in the form of scrawled graffiti, offer up their innermost thoughts and lend themselves to the book’s title."
