A ';gripping and personal view of war' (Andy McNab, author of Bravo Two Zero), from a celebrated photojournalistwho spent time in Ukraine in 2014 and documented the turmoil that led to Russia's invasioncrafts a powerful memoir about his experiences in some of the world's most dangerous, war-torn areas, and his terrifying capture by Syrian rebels in 2013.For a decade, Jonathan Alpeyriea FrenchAmerican photojournalisthad ventured in and out of more than a dozen conflict zones. He photographed civilians being chased out of their homes, military trucks roving over bullettorn battlefields, and too many bodies to count. But on April 29, 2013, during his third assignment to Syria, Alpeyrie became the story. For eightyone days he was bound, blindfolded, and beaten by Syrian rebels. Over the course of his captivity, Alpeyrie kept his spirits up and strove to find the humanity in his captors. He took part in their activities, taught them how to swim, prayed with them, and tried learning their language and culture. He also discovered a dormant faith within himself, one that strengthened him throughout the ordeal. The Shattered Lens is a firsthand account that ';reads like a thriller' (The New York Journal of Books) by a photojournalist who has always answered the next adrenalinepumping assignment. Yet, during his headlinemaking kidnapping and ';for all his suffering, Alpeyrie expresses, in words and color photographs, the compassion of a global citizen seeing beyond his personal terror and into the nuances of human interactions' (Booklist).
