"Generation AK. The Afghanistan Wars 1993-2012" is a photographic retrospective by Stephen Dupont, capturing Afghanistan's tumultuous history from 1993 to 2012. It documents events such as the civil war, the Taliban's rise, "Operation Enduring Freedom," and the ongoing war on terrorism. Dupont's images were taken during self-funded trips and his association with Contact Press Images, a small independent agency. Notably, in 2008, he survived a suicide bombing while accompanying an Afghan opium eradication team near Jalalabad. The book explores themes of conflict, resilience, and the impact of war on Afghan society and landscapes.
