Hardback. Etat : Good. "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 Times-bestselling author of Tribe). Tim Hetherington (1970-2011) 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. "A powerfully written biography . . . This is poignant imagery and metaphor for the entire body of this extraordinary artist and humanist's life." --The Huffington Post "Huffman excels at heightening the drama, depicting the rapid-fire action and constant danger of working among soldiers and guerrillas engaged in battle." --The Boston Globe "Huffman vividly chronicles the short life of a man drawn to danger zones to capture the horrors of modern warfare." --Los Angeles Times "Celebrate[s] Tim Hetherington's life . . . Recount[s] his last days in Libya in excruciating detail." --Time.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. When wealthy Mississippi cotton planter Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa. Ross's heirs contested the will for more than a decade, prompting a deadly revolt in which a group of slaves burned Ross's mansion to the ground. But the will was ultimately upheld. The slaves then emigrated to their new home, where they battled the local tribes and built vast plantations with Greek Revival-style mansions in a region the Americo-Africans renamed Mississippi in Africa. In the late twentieth century, the seeds of resentment sown over a century of cultural conflict between the colonists and tribal people exploded, begetting a civil war that rages in Liberia to this day. Tracking down Prospect Hill's living descendants, deciphering a history ruled by rumor, and delivering the complete chronicle in riveting prose, journalist Alan Huffman has rescued a lost chapter of American history whose aftermath is far from over. …
