New York: Villard, (2001) dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's first book - an autobiographical account of "a 22 year old girl from Potomac, Maryland, who goes off to photograph wars and comes back, four years and one too many adventures later, a woman. . Within weeks of arriving in Paris, Kogan found herself on the back of a truck in Afghanistan, the only woman - and the only journalist - in a convoy of rebel freedom fighters. Kogan had not actually planned on shooting the Afghan war alone. However, the beguiling French photographer she'd entrusted with both her itinerary and her heart turned out to be as dangerously unpredictable as a war.. . Each chapter, covers a different corner of the globe and each is linked to the man Kogan was involved with at the time. From Zimbabwe to Romania, from Russia to Haiti, [this is] a surprisingly hilarious journey through a mine-strewn decade, her personal battles against sexism, battery, and even rape blending seamlessly with the historical struggles of war, revolution, and unfathomable abuse it was her job to record." Illustrated throughout with photographs. 300 pp. ISBN: 0-375503641.
