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.
