Critics Review
This is the most honest account I have read of what it feels like to be a war photographer and what drives such brave, some would say reckless, individuals to risk their lives.
This is the most honest account I have read of what it feels like to be a war photographer and what drives such brave, some would say reckless, individuals to risk their lives. * Daily Mail *
A splendid book, devastating in what it reveals – Archbishop Desmond Tutu
What distinguishes this account is its honesty-. A gripping book where emotions are laid bare- [Marinovich and Silva] confront the basic ethical and moral issues which most of us rarely have to think about as we glide along in our conformable Western lives. * Yorkshire Post *
a compelling account of what it is like to be a war correspondent in one’s own country… [a] superbly told story * Independent on Sunday *
a device of searing pain- as painful a loss of innocence as any I have read anywhere- powerful and heartbreaking- Not for the faint-hearted, and not for the beach, The Bang-Bang Club is a must, though. * The Times *
This is a book of extraordinary power. I cannot recommend it highly enough * Fergal Keane *
