Working exclusively for the New York Times, Ivor Prickett was often embedded within Iraqi special forces troops as he documented both the fighting and its toll on the civilian population and urban landscape. The operation lasted nearly nine months, resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and ruined vast tracts of the city. Involving some of most brutal urban combat since World War II, the fall of Mosul was key to the downfall of the Islamic State: soon after the remains of the so-called Caliphate quickly collapsed. Prickett focuses on the human struggles of conflict. Taken on the frontline, his pictures legitimately and compellingly record the experience of being caught in the crossfire, whether as a soldier or non-combatant. He furthermore captures post-war reality while attempting to reconstruct the final weeks of combat: the devastated city including abandoned corpses of ISIS fighters, and, months later, families searching for missing loved ones, and civilians returning to reclaim their homes and lives. 600 10 $a Prickett, Ivor. 610 20 $a IS (Organization) $v Pictorial works. 648 7 $a Since 2003 $2 fast 650 0 $a War photography. 650 7 $a War photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170549 651 0 $a Iraq $x History $y 2003- $v Pictorial works. 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 700 12 $a Prickett, Ivor. $t Photographs. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Loyd, Anthony, $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217021309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD0DAC54083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
