The author is so broadly knowledgeable that one is provided with historical contexts that are fascinating as well as an awareness of how this medium can effectively influence and direct attention. It's a perfect fit with democracy and an open society.It makes you wonder about what is NOT considered fit to print such as waterboarding, the reality of sharia law, the cartoon in Denmark that "provoked" terrorism. Photos could "out" the likes of Michael Vik and other bullies by providing pictures of the victims of homelessness and, certainly, war. WWI went relatively unrecorded in Europe.
I had to buy this book in college and was so happy I did. It's an amazing visual book that makes you feel like you are living the photographs!
Excellent book , very well written and researched! I would recommend the book to any photographer. Tit would make a nice gift.
