The Silencing

The book examines six cases of murdered Russian journalists and pairs photos of the murder sites with first-person accounts of the journalist's work and life – from the people who knew and loved them. The result is an indelible image of hope amid catastrophe... of individuals' belief in the power of words and truths to make a difference... of lives brutally cut short... of the incomprehensibly rich complexity of others' lives – so separated from our own, and yet so jarringly close.
