"The military cameramen of World War II provided us with enduring and powerful images that have shaped our memory of that conflict as well as our idea of war and its impact."--the publisher. In this remarkable narrative history, Peter Maslowski relates the fascinating story of these cameramen who often risked their lives to capture photographs for strategic use, for the home front's morale and for posterity. Drawing from years of interviews with surviving combat cameramen including his own father Maslowski conveys the excitement and fear of the experience of these often unsung heroes.
