The book unfolds chronologically and each chapter focuses on the medium that defined the conflict - from the age of print (the First World War) to the rise of radio (Spanish Civil War), the multimedia war (the Second World War), the war in colour (Vietnam and the Falklands) and the modern digital age (the second Gulf war and the war in Afghanistan). Each section includes several feature spreads in which an individual object from the exhibition - a photograph or artefact - is fully profiled. The book concludes with a discussion between a group of contemporary reporters, TV directors, photographers and artists about their personal experiences, the demands of the job and the effects of changing media technology on the very idea of the war correspondent."--Publisher's information.
