"Michael Iarocci's deft analysis transforms the way we see The Disasters of War. He explores the allegorical potential of Goya's images as well as multiple readings of their captions before turning to the role of their sequence, which takes the viewer on a journey as witness forced to confront unmitigated atrocity and devastation. This book is essential to understanding Goya's unique accomplishment and its sadly enduring relevance."–Janis A. Tomlinson, author of Goya: A Portrait of the Artist
"Iarocci guides the reader through a brilliant tour of Goya's Disasters of War, offering a series of commentaries that leave no room for doubt that these shocking images of the horrors of war are as urgent for us today as ever before."–Anthony J. Cascardi, author of Francisco de Goya and the Art of Critique
