The Photographer: Into War-torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders is a nonfiction graphic novel by Emmanuel Guibert, Didier Lefèvre, and Frédéric Lemercier [fr].

[1][2] The Photographer tells the true story of Didier Lefèvre, a French photojournalist, who accompanied a Médecins Sans Frontières mission during the height of the Soviet–Afghan War in 1986.

[citation needed] The book opens in Pakistan, with the then-29-year-old Lefèvre meeting the members of the team, including leader Juliette Fournot.

It then documents the mission's trip to Afghanistan's Yaftali Sufla District (part of the Badakhshan Province), to the town of Zaragandara,[4] to establish a field hospital and staff another one.

[citation needed] The book shows the team's reception in Afghanistan: being greeted and hosted by local leaders, and seeing teenage mujahideen displaying their machine guns before heading to battle.
