***Testament*** is a collection of photographs and writing by late photojournalist Chris Hondros spanning over a decade of coverage from most of the world's conflicts since the late 1990s, including Kosovo, Afghanistan, the West Bank, Iraq, Liberia, Egypt, and Libya. 

Through Hondros' images, we witness a jubilant Liberian rebel fighter exalt during a firefight, a U.S. Marine remove Saddam Hussein's portrait from an Iraqi classroom, American troops ride confidently in a thin-skinned unarmored Humvee during the first months of the Iraq war, "the probing eyes of an Afghan village boy," and "rambunctious Iraqi schoolgirls enjoying their precious few years of relative freedom before aging into more restricted adulthoods." 

Hondros was not just a front-line war photographer, but also a committed observer and witness, and his work humanizes complex world events and brings to light shared human experiences. Evident in his writings, interspersed throughout, Hondros was determined to broaden our understanding of war and its consequences. 

This unyielding determination led Hondros to take dozens of trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, even as the news turned elsewhere. During these "routine" trips, Hondros examined and observed daily life in these war-torn societies. His inventive Humvee picture series frames the ever-changing landscapes of these countries, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of those most affected by conflict.

In 2015 startte Sam Dillemans een reeks werken rond de Groote Oorlog. In overwegend witte en zwarte olieverf zet hij aangrijpende oorlogstaferelen neer. Het resultaat is een nieuw, indrukwekkend en woest universum waarin (on)menselijk leed trefzeker wordt gevat in beelden van ongetemde schoonheid. Eén werk uit de reeks, 'Ypres', werd aan de stad Ieper geschonken n.a.v. de 100ste verjaardag van de Derde Slag bij Ieper. In het voorjaar van 2018 belicht een grote overzichtstentoonstelling in de Tentoonstellingsruimte Sam Dillemans dit nieuwe hoofdstuk uit zijn oeuvre. 'Goodbye to all that' is de catalogus bij deze tentoonstelling. Exhibition: Tentoonstellingsruimte Sam Dillemans, Borgerhout, Belgium (opening 9.3.2018).

This book provides an advanced introduction to the Cold War, assessing its origins, development and conclusion as a dynamic interaction between superpower confrontation and complex regional and local situations. The evolution of the subject's scholarly debate is discussed throughout and the contest situated alongside enduring historical themes including decolonisation, development, nationalism and globalisation. Regional case studies, on Europe, East and Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, illuminate the Cold War's global reach. Thematic analysis considers competition in military, strategic and economic spheres, as well as in aspects of culture, ideology, society, and Human Rights. The Cold War's transnational elements and facets of international cooperation are also highlighted. The book unpacks the subject's extensive scholarly discourse, underlining the interdisciplinary character of today's Cold War historiography and the importance of understanding that its development has been informed by a vibrant interface between international history, international relations and the Cold War itself. Elspeth O'Riordan is a Visiting Lecturer in the Defence Studies Department at King's College London, in the UK. She studied at the London School of Economics and has held lectureships at the Universities of St Andrews and Dundee in Scotland.
