Reviews
'Kennedy and Patrick have brought together an important group of contemporary historians and critics from a wide array of disciplines to animate discussion of the future of photojournalism as it relates to continuing currents of conflict. This book makes an important contribution to a new and emerging conversation about the continuing impact of photography on life in late modern society.'
