War Correspondent

Published to tie in to a
major new exhibition at
the Imperial War Museum
North, this timely
illustrated book presents
an engaging discussion
about the role of the war
correspondent, news
gathering in a war zone,
and the influence of
technology on war
reporting. Rageh Omaar s
composed reporting of the
bombardment of Baghdad;
Martha Gellhorn s
evocative portrait of
Barcelona under siege;
Richard Dimbleby s
horrifying radio
broadcast from Belsen;
Robert Capa s blurred
images of the chaos on
Omaha Beach: for 150
years war correspondents
have shaped our
understanding of the war
zone. Through printed
word, photograph, radio
and satellite linkup,
they have exposed the
horrors of war and
revealed the endurance of
the human spirit under
fire. This book not only
brings together details
of the most famous
dispatches from the front
line and iconic examples
of photojournalism that
have passed into our
collective consciousness,
it is also about the war
correspondents themselves
their escapades and ruses
to outwit the censor;
their ability to rough it
in the most extreme
conditions, but also
enjoy the finest hostelry
a liberated city can
provide; their
determination to place
themselves in harm s way
in the pursuit of the
facts; and their
frustrations with
military and government
restrictions, as well as
their editors. Their
personal stories are
fascinating in themselves
set against the backdrop
of cataclysmic events,
which left an indelible
mark on their psyche.
Illustrated with the best
examples of war art,
black-and-white prints
and colour reportage of
the conflicts of the last
century and a half, and
with special features on
the careers of famous
journalists and
photographers, this is a
fascinating insight into
the role of the war
correspondent.
