A Journey Into Moral Morass and Back

James Brabazon is a front-line war reporter. His recently released memoir, My Friend the Mercenary documents his journey into the dark heart of the Liberian civil war at a time when the international community denied it was even taking place. His experience there, particularly his forging an intense friendship with notorious South African mercenary Nick Du Toit, led to James being invited to film—and be directly involved in—the failed mercenary-led coup attempt in Equatorial Guinea in 2004. Interview by Ellena Savage. Photograph by Tim Hetherington.
