Book excerpt: Through his portraits of ordinary people August Sander, the German photographer whose work chronicled the extreme tensions and transitions of the twentieth century, captured a moment in history whose consequences he himself couldn't have predicted.

Kirsch writes both urgently and poignantly about these photographs, creating a unique dialogue of word and image that will speak to readers.
