Recenzje

Your Country, Our War is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of journalism and diplomacy. Katherine Brown's on-the-ground experience in Afghanistan and her sophisticated understanding of international relations enrich this valuable book. Afghanistan is viewed by the rest of the world through the filter of journalism, which both magnifies and distorts, and Brown provides crisp analysis of how this works.
