Narrated through the memories of Langford's closest friends, the novel reconstructs a portrait of a man defined by his courage, his lens, and his fatal attraction to the front lines of history. Koch writes with lyrical intensity and moral seriousness, capturing both the camaraderie and the psychological toll that war journalism exacts on those who bear witness. The novel argues that the pursuit of truth through the camera's eye is itself a kind of obsession — one that can consume a man as surely as the wars he documents. Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, it stands as one of Australia's most powerful and haunting explorations of war, identity, and the cost of bearing witness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810618061019,"sku":"2026600000165-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/554205f3-d4a2-4fcf-90b4-c72a87dd758c.png?v=1779806063","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000165-secondhand-highways-to-a-war-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
