Dispatches from the Frontlines of Humanity is an in-depth reportage on some of the most defining issues of our time, namely the global refugee crisis, the conflicts displacing these masses of humanity, and the causes behind them. It is also an ode to the vanishing art of the long-form feature or reportage, which is disappearing because many media organisations can no longer afford it, or are unwilling to pay for this kind of time-consuming, on-the-ground journalism.
This book showcases a keen eye for the human story and a profound commitment to the human family. By telling the stories, it helps put a human face on the suffering that is too often viewed statistically and quantitatively.
