Publisher’s Brief
“This needs to sit somewhere between a lonely planet guide and a war/military book. Design will need to include multiple elements (maps, lift out boxes, endnotes, archival illustrations) and anticipated challenges will include working with lower resolution/amateur photography of the sites, some of which are under-documented and quite remote.”
