With clarity, beauty, and candor, Lynsey Addario documents, often in their most extreme moments, the complex lives of others. War photographer Addario’s memoir is the story of how the relentless pursuit of truth, in virtually every major theater of war in the twenty-first century, has shaped her life. Watching uprisings unfold and people fight to the death for their freedom, Addario captures not only news but the fate of society. It’s What I Do is more than just a snapshot of life on the front lines—it is witness to the human cost of war.

Please note, the LDCW will be hosting two Book Circles this month in preparation for Addario's Women's History Month lecture on Thursday, March 8th. The first is Tuesday, February 20th from 12-1pm, and the second is Wednesday, February 28th from 12-1 pm.
