AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY


GUN NATION
Zed Nelson
hardcover, 2001
$49.95.. ...

British photo-journalist Nelson had covered armed conflict in Afghanistan, Somalia, El Salvador and elsewhere, before taking on this sometimes graphic project photographing U.S. guns and gun owners, gun shows, gunshot victims, Columbine survivors and mourners, police, etc. Out of print.

The publisher, Westzone, lasted little more than a year and released only a handful of titles including Cock: Indian Firework Art and Andrew Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin's Trust -- some of the best produced, most interesting photography and pop culture books of the last 10 years.
