How can a reporter from London or Lyon write a story about Kabul or Kyiv without knowing the city, the language, or the people? The answer is Fixers-local guerilla journalists who provide foreign reporters with everything from hotels to vegan meals, drivers to interviewees, protagonists to entire storylines. Many media companies don't offer fixers any contracts, insurance, or bylines, while many fixers put up with it because the story just needs to be told. Fixers is the very first book in which they tell their own tales of war and occupation, oppression and exploitation, from France to Afghanistan, from Ukraine to Iran.
