The book was launched with a talk presented in partnership with Culture +Conflict at Amnesty HQ in London, where Julian discussed the themes addressed in the book and the 2008 Brighton Photo Biennial much of its content was collated for. One of the book’s many contributors, Oliver Chanarin of Broomberg & Chanarin also presented and discussed a work in progress film stemming from the Deutsche Börse award-winning work War Primer 2.
