White 'struggle' photographers, such as Gideon Mendel, were based in the suburbs but became messengers in a war which would shape the country. The physical photos from this period, reproduced in this book, are battered by time, damage to the film itself and deliberate intervention. The changes to these objects speak of the fragility of memory itself - material trace of the past can be altered just as the human mind with the current of time.
