Regarding the Pain of Others was Susan Sontag's last published book before her death in 2004. It is, in a way, a follow-up to On Photography despite the fact that the two books have radically different opinions about photography. This long essay focuses on war photography. Using photography to back-up her points, Sontag sets out to answer the questions posed by Virginia Woolf in her book Three Guinies.
