About The Camera at War

The Camera at War: 170 Years of Weaponising Photography by Hilary Roberts examines how photographs have recorded conflict while also shaping what governments, armies and publics believe about it.

Covering the long relationship between cameras and warfare, the book considers photography as evidence, persuasion, intelligence and propaganda. Its value lies in asking not only what wartime images show, but who made them, why they circulated and how their meaning could be controlled.
