Liberia’s conflict through photography

Gregory Himie Stemn’s book documents Liberia’s conflict through photographs and accompanying text, drawing on his stated experience as a photojournalist who witnessed the war. The description frames the conflict as an ethnic and political rupture in a country once seen as a refuge for people fleeing oppression. Its historical focus is the reversal of that role: Liberians themselves forced to seek safety beyond their borders. The book presents the conflict as a record of suffering and displacement, while connecting that record with calls for reconciliation, justice, and peace.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in photographic documentation of conflict and displacement.
  • Those seeking a visual account of Liberia’s history and political conflict.
  • Readers interested in books that address reconciliation, justice, and peace.

Book overview

Liberia, once a beacon of hope and safe haven for oppressed people everywhere, went into flames on Christmas Eve in 1989. Instead of people escaping suppression in other countries, running and seeking a refuge to call their new home, Liberians ran from hell fire seeking refuge outside their country.


This book, When Darkness Fall, tells the sad, shameful story of an ethnic and political blood bath that this once peaceful nation brought upon itself. Written and photographically illustrated by an icon of Liberian photography, Greg Stemn, the book is an exposition by a photojournalist who not only witnessed the events of this horrific war, but felt the pains and agonies it inflicted on the Liberian people.





"Masterpiece of Photography .... A cry for reconciliation and justice and peace ... What do you see?"
