- The New York Times published a photo essay titled "The 'Forever War' in Afghanistan" documenting a quarter-century of the conflict, spanning from the first weeks after Sept. 11, 2001 to the U.S. withdrawal and the Taliban's return
- The visual archive covers both the military conflict and civilian daily life across the 25-year span, with photography drawn from the newspaper's own reporting
Why it matters: The retrospective arrives as a historical benchmark — pinning the Afghanistan war's full arc, from post-9/11 invasion to U.S. exit and Taliban restoration, into a single NYT photo archive that future coverage and scholarship will draw from.
