Moral Courage
Autor Anthony Feinsteinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 dec 2023
- Second book by an esteemed psychiatrist on the professionals working subject of the effects of conflict, this time for journalists, in his first book for photographers
- First book to explore this topic of the personal aspects of 19 investigative journalists that are adversaries to entire authoritarian regimes
- Written by an acknowledged and award-winner psychiatrist in just this field
- Strong ties to the Thomson empire at Globe and Mail and Reuters, who will widely support the book’s publication through their media and in personal appearances by the author, as were provided on the publication of his first book
- 12 of which have been published in the Globe and Mail news network, so he has a general public that already follows his work; this is not arcane psychology only for the professiona.
- Particularly relevant today when the scourge of authoritarianism is creeping into even the most democratic nations, such as Israel and the United States.
- Author has a profile in books that was instigated by his first book, so this is a natural followup companion, giving this book a foothold.
