It's What I Do

This memoir tells the story of how war photographer Lynsey Addario's relentless pursuit of truth in every major theater of war in the 21st century has shaped her life. She documents the complex lives of others, often in their most extreme moments, exposing a culture of violence against women in the Congo and telling the tragic stories of starving Somali children. As a woman photojournalist determined to be taken as seriously as her male peers, Addario fights her way into a boys' club of a profession. It's What I Do is a witness to the human cost of war.
