44 Days: Iran and the Remaking of the World

David Burnett's journey in Iran in documenting the regime change provides a unique photographic perspective on a controversial subject. His portrayal of struggle, tragedy, death and triumph are a beautiful expression of images that represent an important milestone in Iran's turbulent history, especially in the last 35 years.Living in the U.S. as an American-Iranian, I was 9 years old when the revolution erupted. By reading many of the photo captions, I relived those dark days and enjoyed reading his eyewitness accounts. I highly recommend Burnett's book for anyone interested in classic news photojournalism. Just from the clarity of the black and white photographs, this book stands out as a must have for photographic enthusiasts.

This is a great book about a time that was so pivotal for our times now. It was so confusing to me at the time. This volume with its magnificent photos cleared up a lot of gaps in my memory and knowledge about that Iranian crisis. It gave me a better grasp of the problems we are still facing in the middle east today.

This book is absolutely brilliant. It is filled with beautiful and unique pictures of the Iran during the revolution times in 1979. I highly recommend this book to all photography enthusiast, and everyone that is interested in learning a bit more about Iran and its people.

Excellent

Very informative

Great photography about a revolution that never should happend. Painfull to watch but recommended to everyone who's interested in Iran and his history. - 5 stars!!!

Taken as a whole, this book is not only a remarkable documentation of the fall of Iran to radical Islam, but also an amazing example of classic photojournalism. When paging through the book, the reader will see how Burnett worked on a day by day basis to record history as it happened and to then dig deeper into the story as he gained a deeper understanding of events.

This is a tribute to photojournalism at its best. This is when a photographer is allowed to be at a place longer than a few days to capture the entire story. Burnett's pictures are amazing and the story is also incredibly captivating. A must read for history and photography buffs

Really great images and (obviously) a thoroughly engaging topic.I bought this on a bit of a whim but have been really impressed with the quality of the images. Top quality photo journalism. Ended up buying another copy as a present for another photographer friend too.

History that changed the world. Very interesting.
