"Manning released a particularly poignant set of cards depicting the events of the Gulf War. While not quite the tabloid, or sensationalism type of reporting, the cards did focus on events that weren't always at the forefront of the news, due to the negativity that would have followed such news. The strife of the populace in the face of all the fighting wasn't something we read about nearly as much as the news of the military action. "Collateral damage" inflicted on those not directly active in the fighting was just as real as targeted actions. Thus, the 'horrors' as well as the 'triumphs' received attention in this unique 50 card set which should be mandatory reading. Please note that some pictures may be disturbing to some individuals." - Desert Storm Cards Website | ||
