Throughout her thirty-year career, Lê has photographed noncombatant roles of active-duty service members, often on the sites of former battlefields, including those reserved for training or the reenactment of war, and those created as film sets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This publication includes selections from her well-known series \u003ci\u003eViêt Nam\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSmall Wars\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e29 Palms\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEvents Ashore\u003c\/i\u003e, in addition to never-before-seen images, including recent photographs from the US-Mexico border, formative early work, and lesser-known projects.
