Amna Nawaz:

A new book of photography offers a unique lens on the impact of war on fighters and civilians alike.

The author, Corinne Dufka, formerly led the West Africa Division at Human Rights Watch, where she spent more than two decades documenting human rights abuses through victims testimonies.

But, before that, in the 1980s and 1990s, Dufka was a war photographer covering some of the world’s most brutal conflicts. Many of her photos are now being published for the first time in her new book “This is War.”

I sat down with recently for our arts and culture series, Canvas.

Corinne Dufka, welcome to the “NewsHour.” Thanks for being here.

Corinne Dufka, Author, “This is War: A Decade of Conflict”: Thank you very much. It’s a pleasure.
