Camera in Conflict

The Hulton Getty Picture Collection – Robert Fox

Fotografie und moderne Kriegsfuhrung: Bilddokumente aus dem Krieg, vom ersten Auftauchen der Fotografen an der Front – im Krimkrieg und im Amerikanischen Burgerkrieg – bis hin zu Vietnam, Kuwait, Bosnien und Tschetschenien.

Camera in Conflict is the story of photography in war from the Crimea and the American Civil War to Chechenya and Bosnia today. Here is the work of action photographers at the peak of their art, producing images that were to be etched for ever on the collective memory - the victims of the Warsaw ghetto surrendering to the SS, the hundreds of sailors abandoning ship as the carrier USS Lexington goes down in the battle for the Coral Sea, the bewildered and bereaved in Sarajevo and Rwanda.
Based on the collection of the renowned Hulton Getty Picture Collection, the book draws on the best photography from different continents and theatres, and from the archives of Picture Post and its like in America, Germany and Russia.
In a series of arresting essays, Robert Fox describes the changing aspect of war across the world in the era of action photography, and outlines what we might expect in conflicts to come. The war photographer, he maintains, is far from an endangered species - even in the age of television.
