| Illustrated
with unique and rare photographs from The Times (London)
archives, War: A Photo History is a lucid and brutally
honest depiction of war. The introduction of cameras to the
front lines dramatically altered the way we view war. This
narrative fleshes out the original dynamic between what occurred
on the ground and what was seen and perceived back home —
the significance of which cannot be overstated for societies
that are now very used to images of war in the media.
Many of the images
in War: A Photo History have not had widespread exposure,
and this gathering of unseen and relatively unknown viewpoints
will be valuable to the historian and photographer alike.
