Description of this Book
At first glance, Bruce Connew's journey was crazy and impulsive. A photographer leaves his children in the care of a friend and hops a plane to a little reported war he caught a glimpse of on television. In the hill country of east Burma, Connew journeys with Karen refugees, ducks down in trenches from incoming mortar fire and, ultimately, joins forces with a New Zealand mercenary to stage an ambush. This is not your average idea of escapism. What follows is a traveller's story - a marvellous tapestry of insight, memoir and visual description. Central to all its parts is the photographer's recent loss of his wife in a road crash. Death and its random, sudden occurrence is Connew's subject. His narrative moves easily between the Auckland suburbs and an all but forgotten war . Lloyd Jones. On the way to an ambush is a series exhibited first at War Photo Limited, Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2008.
