Stanley Greene, born in New York, moved to Paris in 1986 and was part of the photographic agency Vu. In 1989, he was in East Berlin and photographed the fall of the wall from the inside, making him a highly sought-after press photographer. He then photographed wars and poverty across different continents and secretly traveled to Chechnya numerous times from 1994 to 2003. 'Today, covering a war is a very personal form of protest. Having witnessed many conflicts, I can affirm that the one in Chechnya stands out for its unparalleled horror.'

Preface in French by Christian Caujolle, testimonial text by Stanley Greene, including 8 pages of journal in English also published, as well as 7 contact sheets. At the end of the book, 12 pages with miniature reproductions of the photographs and detailed captions.
