War/Photography surveys both iconic and newly discovered photographs of war and conflict, from daguerreotypes documenting the Crimean and American Civil Wars to digital images made by soldiers in 21st-century Iraq. Accompanying a landmark exhibition opening at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, it is generously illustrated with over 525 powerful images and includes texts by some of today's most important scholars of war photography. This ambitious book offers a comprehensive investigation of the relationship between photography and armed conflict.
The featured works represent a range of perspectives—from journalists to soldiers to ordinary citizens—and span six continents, yet together they communicate the consummate experience of war: its brutality, humanity, and even humor. The book's essays investigate the immediate impact, dissemination, and historical influence of war photography.

{PRETITLE} War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath {POSTTITLE}
What began as a ten year investigation and slow building of images and ideas from Anne Wilkes Tucker , curator of photography, Will Michaels, collections photographer, and Natalie Zeit, curatorial assistant in photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston resulted in this massive book of images of war that range from daguerreotypes from the mid 19th Century wars (the American Civil War, the Crimean War), when the camera was first used to document the tragedy of war, to the present. The book not only is overflowing with images of wars from every country around the globe over the past two hundred plus years, but it also is an homage to the war photographers who risked their lives to capture the horrors of war for posterity. The contributors to the written aspects of the book include Anne Wilkes Tucker, Will Michels, Natalie Zelt, Liam Kennedy, Hilary Roberts, John Stauffer, Bodo Von Dewitz, Jeff Hunt, and Natalie Zeldin. The book's essays investigate the immediate impact, dissemination, and historical influence of war photography.
The exhibition/experience traveled to Los Angeles at the Annenberg Space for Photography where this reader experienced the shock of the closing day of the exhibition. Though the Los Angeles venue was pared down in number of photographs presented, it added a running film in which photographers who have photographed the wars and survived presented the impact their experiences caused. The impact of the images and the manner in which they were grouped mirrors the fine layout of the book.
