The Pictorial Story of War

What is of great significance in oral history is that the oral historian could wake up the dormant memory and recalls the narrator again what has been forgotten, forcing him or her to speak about it. One of the most efficient tools in this regard which makes the job of historian easy is photo. The photos related to an event are evoked in the narrator's mind. Thus, the publication of historical photos is of great importance in the area of oral history. "War Photographers" by Ali Fereidooni is such an example in the area of the sacred defense history.
