to honor the late British photographer Tim Hetherington, who was killed in Libya in 2011 along with Getty Images photographer Chris Hondros. Junger took on the task of trying to ensure that journalists, particularly freelancers, who work in the field covering conflict have the training they need to operate safely, or at least more safely. In investigating Hetherington’s death, Junger discovered that his friend could possibly have survived his injuries with a minimum of quick first aid to staunch an arterial wound. Hetherington bled to death just a few minutes from a hospital.
