Washington: National Geographic, 2002. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket. 320 pages. In this vivid, visually gripping account of modern warfare, award-winning author Michael Sweeney takes us onto battlefields from the Crimea to Kuwait, to chronicle 150 years of war, often in the words of those who have seen it firsthand. From the mid 19th century - when the rise of the telegraph, mass-market newspapers, and photography combined to create a new kind of journalist - to the real-time televised wars of today, he presents a concise history of world conflict and introduces us to legendary correspondents and photographers like Richard Harding Davis, Ernie Pyle, Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Morrow, Neil Sheehan, Larry Burrows, Morley Safer, and many more.
