On a wintery night in February 1989, 22 year-old Deborah Copaken Kogan entered Afganistan as the only female in a group of Afghan freedom fighters. She had come to photograph the Soviet pull-out. This is a memoir of a young woman finding and fighting her way through the war zones of the world. Told with humour, it tells how one woman fought her way onto battlefields, and the danger, pain, truths and love she discovered there.
