Gilbertson has focussed almost exclusively on the War in Iraq since 2002, covering the conflict from pre-Occupation through the Surge of 2008. A selection of this work, as well as essays detailing Gilbertson's experiences, were published as the acclaimed 2007 book, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Iraq War.
