Opis

From a near-abandoned hospital in Chechnya to bombed-out Tora Bora in Afghanistan, from Saddam Hussein's derelict palace in Baghdad to the inner-city barrios of Kingston, the author has covered almost every embattled place in the world and the people caught in its midst. The pieces collected begin with Algeria in 1998 and end with Iraq in 2005.
