More about the book

When Robert Capa snapped the photo of the dying militiaman during the Spanish Civil War, it seemed the ideal goal of every journalist to tell the story of death in battle. But this work actually began nearly a century before with photos shot by Fenton in the Crimea and Brady during the American Civil War. It includes the Unification of Italy, Franco-Prussian War, Indian Wars, Boer Wars, Spanish-American War, Russo-Japanese War, Italo-Turkish War, First and Second World Wars, the Italo-Ethiopian War, Spanish Civil War, Shanghai, Korean War, French-Indochina War, Vietnam, Suez and Sinai, the Six-Day and Yom Kippur Wars, Lebanon and Palestine, Liberian Civil War, Somalia, Rwanda, Congo, Angola, Sudan and Darfur, Falklands, Afghanistan, the Yugoslav Wars, Kosovo, the Chechen War, Gulf War, Second Gulf War, Afghanistan (again), Georgia and Ossetia, and Libya.
