';Not only does Huffman bring Tim back to life... but he also leads us through some of the most harrowing combat of our generation' (Sebastian Junger, New York Timesbestselling author of Tribe). Tim Hetherington (19702011) was one of the world's most distinguished and dedicated photojournalists, whose career was tragically cut short when he died in a mortar blast while covering the Libyan Civil War. Someone far less interested in professional glory than revealing to the world the realities of people living in extremely difficult circumstances, Hetherington nonetheless won many awards for his war reporting, and was nominated for an Academy Award for his critically acclaimed documentary, Restrepo. In Here I Am, Alan Huffman tells Hetherington's life story, and through it analyses, what it means to be a war reporter in the twenty-first century. Huffman recounts the camerman's life from his first interest in photography and war reporting, through his critical role in reporting the Liberian Civil War, to his tragic death in Libya. Huffman also traces Hetherington's photographic milestones, from his iconic and prize-winning pictures of Liberian children, to the celebrated portraits of sleeping US soldiers in Afghanistan.
