Casualties of War - NYTimes Interactive Visualization

April 1st, 2008 | by Nathan |

Another interesting interactive information visualization from the NYTimes: Casualties of War.

Each United States service member who has died in Iraq and been identified by the Defense Department is represented by a small square to the right.

Learn about the individuals by clicking on any square to see information about that person

On another tab in the same interactive graphic, casualties of war are displayed for easier analysis.

Use the slider below to investigate the demographics and military status of U.S. service members who died during the war in Iraq.

However you feel about the war, this graphic presents facts and allows the viewer to develop their own impressions and opinions rather than packaging the same information with any sort of bias.
