'If one writes about war, self-respect demands that one shares the risk.' - Graham Greene Gavin Young grew up with a hunger for travel. He was 18 when he went on his first voyage - to Antwerp - and from that moment he never looked back. As a journalist on The Observer he visited some of the most dangerous, distant and untouched corners of the world. He started taking photographs simply as a way of keeping notes, and continued to snap away throughout his long and fruitful life as a war correspondent and inveterate traveller. This book is testament to a life roaming the world with a camera in hand.
