Produktbeschreibung

Traces the intertwining of new communications technologies and war from the Crimean War, when Roger Fenton took the first photographs of the British army, to the first of three â video warsâ in the Gulf region in 1990 to 1991, within the context of a war culture that made the costs of organised violence acceptable to a wider public.
