C.J. Chivers. Senior writer, The New York Times. Contributor, Esquire. Former Marine. Author of THE GUN, a social history of the AK-47 that examines the origins and proliferation of automatic arms, and their influence on war.
What happens here?
Field reporting on conflict, tactics, insurgency and counterinsurgency, the arms trade and human rights. Behind scenes glimpses of work. Front-line forensics, battlefield paleontology, appreciative nods, mini-profiles, explanatory riffs. Pix. Tweets. Updates. Links. And occasional accounts of the other, better life.
Warning: Some photographs are technical. A few are graphic. There are reasons. Every time.
