Martin Parr and Gerry Badger include Riley and His Story in the third volume of their photobook history, in which they describe it as "more about what the Iraq War did to those involved in it than about the justice of the cause, although its futility — and that of all war — is clearly implied." [9] Riley and His Story is the first volume in a project by Haller, Matthew Rezac and Mark Fox called the Veterans' Book Project. The project involves veterans of and those affect by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars publishing their stories and photographs, made while on duty, as a form of catharsis. [9] [10]
