The media landscape of the Iraq War with its giant media conglomerates, websites and blogs, satellite transmission and digital cameras was an utterly changed one: it led photographers to new ways of working, and in the mainstream press their work was subject to many restrictions. In the Vietnam era, the illustrated magazines were still important sources of news, and photojournalism could show things which television, with its cumbersome equipment, could not. These changes were accompanied by profound changes in the technology, ownership and function of the media. There is a causal link between the two, since the Pentagon revised both its military and media-management strategies following the debacle in Vietnam, and fought both wars in the Gulf as negative images of its defeat. The core of the book is a contrast between the Vietnam and Iraq wars, each for their time the most mediatised conflicts ever fought. This book offers a sustained analysis of the role of images, particularly photography, in current warfare, placing it in historical and theoretical perspective.
