Regis Le Sommier
Beschreibung
"e;I'm here to put the internationals in order. I'm in charge here. Too many people showed up at the center and they had no business being there."e; These are the words of an American instructor, met by Regis Le Sommier at the beginning of the war when all the media was minimizing the role of the United States in Ukraine. Regis Le Sommier is the only war reporter to have gone to both sides of the front line with the Ukrainian and Russian armies for a year. He worked for Paris-Match for 30 years and received several awards for his journalism. Odessa, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk, Donbass and Bakhmut are all war zones where the journalist has captured the truth of the reality on the ground. This is a raw book, a book from the level of the men, far from the hazy analyses of armchair specialists. At 54, Regis Le Sommier is a senior reporter, columnist for CNews and Radio Classique. In 2017, he received the Grand Prix de la Presse Internationale for his coverage of the Middle East, and in 2018, he got the award for best journalistic investigation, for his coverage of the battle of Mosul. In 2022, he founded Omerta, a digital platform for documentaries and investigations.
