Customer Reviews
First hand stories - fascinating insights - brilliant.
Loved hearing these stories told by Don himself and how he felt to be right in the middle of war. He describes these terrifying experiences with such empathy and insight. Fascinating from a journalist POV, fascinating from a photographic POV but even more fascinating on a human level.
Look forward to many more insightful war stories straight from the horses mouth.
