"This is the most important book on combat photographers and what they have seen and felt and photographed that has yet been written. Miss Moeller has exhaustively studied combat photographers and their pictures from the Spanish-American War through Vietnam. With the sensitivity and involvement of a photographer, and the insights and persistence of a historian, when has made Shooting War a landmark book that is not only about the photographers who have covered the wars but also one of the strongest and most perceptive books yet about war itself."-Carl Mydans, staff photographer, Time, and one of the five original staff photographers for Life, 1936. Until reading this book I didn't realize the power journalism truly has on our rights and liberties as Americans. This book shows how our US government controlled American's view of war. Frankly it shows how we have been manipulated through time to go where those in government want to lead us. When you finish reading this book you realize how vitally important the first amendment is to the survival of a true democracy.
