Veteran U.S. photojournalist Robert King recently returned from a month-long stay in Al Qusayr, a small town in Syria's Homs Province close to the Lebanese border. For months now the town has been at the center of fighting between the rebel forces of the Free Syrian Army and regular Syrian Army troops loyal to the government of President Bashar al-Assad. During his visit, King managed to capture unique and often gruesome images of one community's struggle against the Syrian government.
