The Longest Way Round by Chris Dorley-Brown

A collection of works by British photographer Chris Dorley-Brown.

"'The Longest Way Round' is a visual exploration of the author's family history, and is composed of a combination of historical photographs and newly taken photographs by the author. For family albums. Discovering a treasure trove of archival material that isn't, Dory-Brown presents a multi-layered, alternate story of the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century, with love and war as central themes.Chris His father, Peter, was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II, and his mother was a war bride*, and how long the aftermath of the war remained at home. In order to connect the experience to the present, Dory-Brown captured historical photographs of his deceased parents, family letters, and wartime documents, as well as photographs that pointed to his own modern times.” —publisher commentary Than

* Refers to marriages between soldiers and residents of the country where they were stationed during wartime. There are many records of marriages between American soldiers and German women, especially during World War II.
