In 1986, following the invasion by the Soviet Union, Afghanistan was torn apart by war. This graphic novel is a record of one reporter’s arduous and dangerous journey through Afghanistan, accompanying Doctors Without Borders.
Didier Lefèvre’s photography, paired with the art of Emmanuel Guibert, tells the powerful story of a mission undertaken by men and women dedicated to mending the wounds of war. Emmanuel Guibert’s previous non-fiction work, Alan’s War, was considered by many to be one of the top books of 2008.
