Shutterbabe: Adventures in Love and War

Shutterbabe: Adventures in Love and War

Fresh out of college and passionate about photography, Deborah Copaken Kogan moved to Paris in 1988 and began knocking on photo agency doors, begging to be given a photojournalism assignment. Within weeks she was on the back of a truck in Afghanistan, the only womanâ‚¬"and the only journalistâ‚¬"in a convoy of mujahideen, the rebel â‚¬Å“freedom fightersâ‚¬Â at the time. She had traveled there with a handsome but dangerously unpredictable Frenchman, and the interwoven stories of their relationship and the assignment set the pace for Shutterbabeâ‚¬s six chapters, each covering a different corner of the globe, each linked to a man in Koganâ‚¬s life at the time.

From Zimbabwe to Romania, from Russia to Haiti, Kogan takes her readers on a heartbreaking yet surprisingly hilarious journey through a mine-strewn decade, seamlessly blending her personal battlesâ‚¬"sexism, battery, life-threatening dangerâ‚¬"with the historical onesâ‚¬"wars, revolution, unfathomable sufferingâ‚¬"it was her job to record.
