I am quite certain I have read this book over 20 years ago and it was a Spanish edition. I am unsure if I ever slogg through the entire 1000+ pages, mostly I recall the book is photograph heavy and there isn't that much text. I remember images were clear, high quality. Descriptions were concise, and the Spanish translation easy to understand. I still remember some haunting photos that literally gave me nightmares. This book is not for the faint of heart, but I can ascertain it is immensely well-researched and an informative read.
