Three of his young daughters and a niece were killed instantly, and one daughter was severely wounded. Risking injury from ongoing Israeli army fire, the family walked nearly a quarter mile carrying their dead and wounded until they found transport to the closest hospital. The Israeli army defended its actions, citing provocation from sniper fire on the roof of the residence. Dr. Abu al-Aish and neighborhood residents disputed this claim. This attack occurred in the midst of the 2008-9 Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, code-named by Israel Operation Cast Lead, the first of four Israeli military assaults on Gaza during the course of the first two decades of the twenty-first century, attacks that have become so regularized as to acquire the military euphemism "mowing the lawn" (Taylor 2021). Within this wartime context, which resulted in the death of thousands of Palestinian civilians by Israeli military fire, the shelling of Abu al-Aish's home was but one lethal incident of many. Yet what distinguished the event was how it was

The epilogue moves the project forward by a century to look at a contemporary Ho-Chunk photographer, Tom Jones, and the differing way that a member of the Ho-Chunk community uses photographs to represent his people in the twenty-first century. In sum this is a beautiful book on two levels. First, the artwork is delightfully reproduced giving easy access to numerous important images. Second, and more importantly, Hoelscher has expertly delved into and behind the images to give a fascinating and nuanced understanding of Bennett’s photography.
