Of Love & War by Lynsey Addario
4.0
Photos and experiences from the career of Lynsey Addario - brutal, shocking, painful to look at. Her main concern as a photographer is covering race, justice, war, and women's issues. I had to put this down several times because of the graphic content- and I'm a certified nurse -midwife who has seen plenty of emergencies. It is different to read about the maternal mortality rate in Sierra Leone and to see photos of a young girl dying after childbirth though. A good reminder of the suffering of survivors globally, the impossibly good fortune to be born in a country without war, and the need to help seek peace.
