War in sharp focus - a compelling photo memoir.
Overall, the title succeeds in its mission to humanise the conflict in Ukraine, offering an emotionally resonant portrayal of its citizens' experience. It also serves as a compelling reminder of the importance of bearing witness to the stories of those affected by war and the power of photography as a narrative tool and form of advocacy. From the comfort of the UK, the fighting in Ukraine can often seem distant, but it's by no means clear if the war will remain confined. This book, therefore, serves as a stark, necessary reminder of what unfolds when conflict engulfs a nation.''
