Perhaps no medium other than this one's could convey so tangibly what it is to deliver 'human services' in a war zone in one of the least geographically hospitable, most beautiful places on earth. A magnificent achievement., A haunting and at times harrowing tale that highlights the cost of war on the people of Afghanistan while illuminating the humanitarian mission of the volunteers that work with Doctors Without Borders., An unflinching and gripping photographic memoir, the Photographer takes you on a breathtaking journey through the best and worst humanity has to offer in times of war. Turning its pages, the reader begins to understand what it means to lose everything as a refugee of war, to cross mountains to help someone you never met, to feel the intense responsibility of being the only one able to capture the last moments of a child's stolen life. Suddenly Afghanistan, a distant land, a foreign culture, a courageous and resilient people seem closer, more familiar--more human. I love this book., The Photographer marries the amazing pictures of Didier Lefevre with the images and text of Emmanuel Guibert. The result is a blazingly honest, riveting memoir that stands as one of the best examples of graphic literature., An expansive narrative that ranges from a discerning glimpse of a very different and variegated culture to an at times heartbreaking chronicle of the horrors of modern warfare to a desperate struggle for survival. . . . an unforgettable reading experience., The Photographer will make you weep, laugh and empty your pockets to donate to the extraordinarily courageous Doctors Without Borders., A staggering graphic achievement . . . The Photographer is a huge, huge success, graphically, narratively, humanistically., "I never thought I'd want to travel in that wild country, but The Photographer, oversized and majestic, makes a persuasive case. An inspiring, beautiful book about a perpetually knotty country at the height of the Soviet-Afghan conflict, The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president." The Boston Globe "Guibert combines Lefèvre's photographs with his own watery renderings to create a staggering graphic achievement. . . . Guibert has created a reading experience that is both storytelling and physical document of a time in history. The Photographer is a huge, huge success, graphically, narratively, humanistically." - Newsarama "Perhaps no medium other than this one's could convey so tangibly what it is to deliver 'human services' in a war zone. A magnificent achievement." - Booklist, starred review "The reach of this magnificent work promises to extend far beyond the graphic novel community." - Publisher's Weekly, starred review, A gripping adventure that sheds light on subjects as diverse as faith, photography, art, love, nobility, Soviet-Afghani relations, pride, masculinity, racism, and bravery. This isn't just a great photography book, it's a great novel, a great comic, a great memoir, and a great history text., The Photographer is a work of stunning originality and power. It seamlessly blends personal storytelling, photography, and illustration to reveal the essential work of Doctors Without Borders. It is to Didier Lefevre's immense credit that he risked his life to bring that story to light. This amazing work gives us a window into the suffering and perseverance of the Afghan people. Above all else, it is a truly inspiring piece of work., "The Photographer is a work of stunning originality and power.

No great warriors are exalted. The story is about those who live on the fringes of war and care for its human detritus. By the end of the book the image or picture of a weapon is distasteful.
