'Regarding the Suffering of Others' (2003) is one of the last books published in Susan Sontag's lifetime. In it, the critic returns to her acclaimed work 'On Photography' (1977), completing, almost thirty years later, a kind of afterword to her reflections on the nature of the photographic image. This time, the focus is on war photography, documentary and staged images of the suffering of others, their meaning and purpose.
