More about the book
Exploring the role of photography in contemporary warfare, the book highlights its dual function as both propaganda and documentation. It examines how images from close-quarters combat to drone surveillance shape public perception and serve as evidence of brutal events, including the My Lai massacre, the suppression in Fallujah, and the abuses at Abu Ghraib. Through this lens, the author delves into the ethical implications and the power dynamics of visual representation in conflict.
