Shooting War: Photography and the American Experience of Combat
YA-- Moeller links photography with the American experience of combat from the Spanish American War in Cuba through the Vietnam War. This book will be valuable for students of photography because it not only provides the personal experiences of such famous photographers as Margaret Bourke-White and David Douglas Duncan, but it also gives specific details of some of the most famous pictures of each war. Moeller deals with problems of government censorship that the photographers encountered as well as the extremely dangerous situations they were in as they worked. The book also provides a discussion of the historical contexts of the photos. --Jane Golenko, Pasadena High School, TXCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
