Summary

Accompanying a landmark exhibition opening at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, it is generously illustrated with over 525 powerful images and includes texts by some of today's most important scholars of war photography. This ambitious book offers a comprehensive investigation of the relationship between photography and armed conflict. The featured works represent a range of perspectivesfrom journalists to soldiers to ordinary citizensand span six continents, yet together they communicate the consummate experience of war: its brutality, humanity, and even humor.
