Gulf War Highway
“Highway 80 north of Kuwait City, February 27, 1991. A line of shattered Iraqi vehicles stretches to the horizon, smoldering. Foreground shows U.S. Marines walking past a charred T-72 and abandoned looted goods; midground reveals oil wells burning across the desert and a sky black with smoke; the highway curves toward Basra under a coppery, sun-occluded daylight.”
