EVENT DETAILS

War Diaries Exhibit Opening Night

Journalist Peter Maass, photojournalist Gary Knight, and lieutenant Tim McLaughlin produced this multimedia exhibit about their experience during the invasion of Iraq.

WHEN THE INVASION began in 2003, Lt. Tim McLaughlin drove a Marine Corps tank into Iraq. Writer Peter Maass and photographer Gary Knight drove SUVs rented from Hertz. This project is the result of their paths crossing in the Iraqi desert-turned-warzone. "Invasion: Diaries and Memories of War in Iraq" is a multimedia exhibit that features McLaughlin’s remarkable war diaries along with photographs by Knight and texts by Maass. The exhibit is timed to the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

Sponsored by the Mellon-funded, Sawyer seminar “Documenting War” and organized by Profs. Cécile Whiting and Carol Burke
