Ten real lives, ten photographs, ten journeys in time: the first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover, Nature's final battle with Man. One photograph, or group of photographs, comes from each decade of the twentieth century, all from the Archive of Modern Conflict, whose small collection of amateur photographs has grown into one of the world's most moving image treasuries. Author Rory MacLean travels along the archive's shelves, from Siberia to Rangoon and China to Shepperton Studios, hearing forgotten voices and saving the stories behind these pictures of you.
