His book \u003ci\u003eLong Story Bit by Bit\u003c\/i\u003e entwines documentary photography, oral testimony, and memoir to map the dynamics of power, tragedy, and triumph in Liberia's recent history. It depicts a past of rebel camps, rainforest destruction, Charles Taylor's trial as a war criminal, and other happenings contrasted with the hope for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLong Story Bit by Bit\u003c\/i\u003e brings an extraordinary range of characters to life. Hetherington's story begins in the rainforest while living with a rebel army during the 2003 battle for Monrovia. During this time he became fascinated by the dynamics of power unraveling in Liberia: from the raw force wielded by young men of rebel groups to the corrupt authority of transitional governments, juxtaposed with the possibilities of a democratically elected president. This book attaches names and faces to the current headlines and provides a background for the present state of Liberia, clarifying the notion that the past decade was not a product of random chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":54127702180123,"sku":"mon0000803240","price":183.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/23289553482858.jpg?v=1791345515","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/long-story-bit-by-bit-liberia-retold","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
