Michael Kamber hat die Schrecken dieser Welt gesehen: 25 Jahre lang war der Fotojournalist in Krisengebieten unterwegs. Seine Bilder aus Somalia, dem Kongo, Afghanistan oder dem Irak zeigen Elend, Gewalt und Grauen und sind vielfach preisgekrönt, unter anderem mit dem renommierten World Press Photo Award. Seinem Berufsstand hat er nun ein Buch gewidmet, das im Ankerherz Verlag erschienen ist. Titel: “Bilderkrieger”.
