A former British soldier and photographer who accompanied Marie Colvin during the latter's ill-fated final assignment in Syria presents a journal account of their close friendship throughout her last year and the 2012 rocket attack that ended her life.

"When Moral und Politik was first published in Germany it provoked heated debate both in and out of the classroom. It even prompted Vittorio Hosle's critics to publish a collection of essays that responded to his provocative arguments. Available for the first time in an English translation, Morals and Politics, a tour-de-force, is certain to once again cause considerable discussion.". "In this ambitious work Hosle attempts no less than an outline of a political ethics for the twenty-first century. He raises the question of the relationship between morals and politics and proposes a relatively complex answer to it. This answer involves a search for a synthesis between the classical European conviction that political philosophy must be based on ethics and the more modern notion that ethical arguments themselves have a political function. Hosle's goal is to create a concrete political ethics for the situation in which humanity finds itself today."--BOOK JACKET.
