This is the candid testimony and stunning photographs of the men and women who go into battle armed only with a camera to show warfare as it is and where it is. In this volume, ten leading combat photographers relate incidents of horror, humour, bravery and daring in locations from Vietnam to Haiti, Ramallah to Afghanistan.
Here, in their own words, are their stories of life in the combat zone, together with many of the powerful images they risked their lives to take. In addition to the work of these talented photographers, are iconic images, from the American Civil War to the devastation of the World Trade Center, that tell the story of the development of combat photography and the profound changes in warfare itself that have occurred in the last century and a half.
