From the Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and New York Times bestselling author, a stunning and personally curated selection of her work across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
Lynsey Addario is an American photojournalist whose work appears regularly in The New York Times, National Geographic, and Time Magazine. She has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Darfur, and the Congo, and has received numerous awards, including the MacArthur Genius Grant and the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting.
“As one of the few women to do this job, Addario has been able to
convey to American readers the texture of life in places they might
never otherwise see, entering secret women’s schools in
Taliban-ruled Afghanistan or taking a portrait of a Congolese woman
heavily pregnant by her rapist. Many of the resulting
photographs—here accompanied by essays from Addario and other
journalists she’s worked with—are distinguished by their
combination of startling intimacy and narrative scope.”
—Harper’s
“Striking.” —Mother Jones
“Spectacular . . . a majestic collection that captures the drama of
everyday existence in war zones around the world. With chapters
chronicling Afghanistan under Taliban rule, the refugee crisis and
women in the military, the volume is a testament to the endurance
of humanity . . . There is no disputing the impact of this
revelatory collection.” —BookPage
“This astonishing selection of photos from photojournalist Addario
strongly demonstrates her conviction that by risking her life to
cover gross injustices she can create visual and visceral proof of
human rights violations . . . Addario’s photographs are stunning,
and this book, which she dedicates to the ‘brave and resilient’
women and men she’s documented, provides unique insight into the
vital work of photojournalists.” —Publishers Weekly (starred
