Conflicting Images: Histories of War Photography in the News [Paperback]

Unlike most historical examinations of war reporting which centre the evolving role of the war correspondent, Conflicting Images focuses on the contribution of photographers and photojournalists, providing an evaluative appraisal of war photography in the news and its development from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first.
