The image of the liberal democracies, epitomised by the US, is tragically tarnished.
Two decades on, as the U.S. prepare to withdraw militarily from Afghanistan, it is time to revisit Lévy’s report, available in English for the first time, and to reflect on what once was hoped and envisioned for the country, as well as what has happened in the years since. Foreword by General David Petraeus.
Over the past fifty years, renowned intellectual BHL has reported extensively on human rights abuses around the world. This book follows the Lévy into eight international hotspots—in Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan; Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos; Libya; and Afghanistan—that have escaped global attention or active response.
BHL is sent by a group of newspapers to bear witness and report from places in the world where suffering and misery is at its peak, where the world’s destiny is being determined an no one, it seems, is paying attention. An unflinching look at the most urgent humanitarian crises aroud the globe.
