This new book follows the intrepid L騅y into eight international hotspots--Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan; Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos, Greece; Libya; and Afghanistan--that have escaped global attention or active response. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a deeply personal introduction, L騅y recounts the intellectual journey that led him to advocacy, arguing that a truly humanist philosophy must necessarily lead to action in defense of the most vulnerable. In the second section, he reports on the eight investigative trips he undertook just before or during the coronavirus pandemic, from the massacred Christian villages in Nigeria to a dangerously fragile Afghanistan on the eve of the Taliban talks, from an anti-Semitic ambush in Libya to the overrun refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. Part manifesto, part missives from the field, this new book is a stirring rebuke to indifference and an exhortation to level our gaze at those most hidden from us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard-Henri Levy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300268106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300268102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Bernard-Henri Levy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070640681215,"sku":"9780300268102","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3b77a0e-a580-4b1d-8c6a-3c7e089eed02.jpg?v=1685431502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-will-to-see-bernard-henri-levy-9780300268102","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
