First trade book on Boko Haram: The rise of Boko Haram and their brazen abductions is one of the most shocking news stories of the last decade.

Authentic voices: This remarkable book is the first to bring the voices of Boko Haram’s victims to the page. It is very hard to confirm facts coming from areas where Boko Haram holds sway.

Leading European journalist: Wolfgang Bauer is the leading reporter of his generation in Germany; his reporting is compared to George Packer’s. He’s well-connected with many of his English-language speaking peers, and he has spent extensive time with the victims of Boko Haram in Nigeria and was the first journalist to break the news of the world heritage ritual sites being destroyed by the group.

Stunning photographs: Andy Spyra is an award-winning photographer whose work has been showcased in the New Yorker and the New York Times and exhibited at the New York Photo Festival and around the world.

Opportunities: We plan to work with the German Book Office to bring Bauer over for a publicity tour.
