Alt Text: All-black book cover, interrupted only by small, white, all caps title reading "Index" just above small, color photograph of soldier smiling in foreground, standing in front of armored truck. A thin white "X" crosses through the image, reminiscent of the digital watermarks used by Shutterstock.
Alt Text: Interior spread view. Spread bracketed by two black bars on upper and lower portions of book. Near middle of spread, a frame shows a clip of drone footage with subtitles reading "One small child wounded...damn. Oh well." Thick, black ink washes are seen on right page. On right page, in lower black bar in white text reads "The gas you smell is a nonlethal tear gas."
Alt Text: Interior spread view, both pages completely black. In the center of each page is a grainy image of what may be a frame from a CCT feed. The left image shows two figures in hardhats and aprons, one turned away in the foreground, the other, arm raised, with what may be a baton or hammer. The second image shows what may be a second later, the arm slightly lower.
Alt Text: Interior spread view. Spread bracketed by two black bars on upper and lower portions of book. Thick, black ink washes take up entire spread. Visible over this, one on each page are two, small images. One, an aerial view of an airstrike, the other, a Shutterstock photograph of a parking lot. On right page, in lower black bar, white text reads "You are under arrest."
