Soldiers have taken photographs of war and its atrocities for more than 100 years. This title traces this unacknowledged genre of photography since the origins of popular photography in the Boer War. It discusses how the images have been used and asks what effect might the wider appreciation of soldiers' pictures have on the perception of war?

This study traces the history of how images taken during the Nazi Holocaust have been subjected to a perplexing variety of treatments: variously ignored, suppressed, distorted and exploited for propaganda purposes. It asks whether the images can ever be true representations of the events.
