"The Camera at War is an in-depth look at the war photographer and the development of an art which, by capturing selective images of world-shaking events, has altered our perception of war. From its beginnings in the 1840s to the present, war photography has developed from a technological novelty into a highly influential medium -- one that has had a major impact on the way we view the phenomenon of war. "With more than 300 classic photographs and fascinating text, The Camera At War traces the evolution of war photography through the changing role of the photographer himself. As a distant witness in the Crimean War and the American Civil War, when primitive equipment allowed only observation from the sidelines, he sent home the first photographic images of large-scale man-made destruction. ..."
