    Witnesses To War: The History Of Australian Conflict Reporting

    About this ebook

    Witnesses to War is a landmark history of Australian war journalism covering the regional conflicts of the nineteenth century to the major conflicts of the twentieth: World War I, World War II, Vietnam and Bosnia through to recent and ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fay Anderson and Richard Trembath look at how journalists reported the horrors and politics of war, the rise of the celebrity journalist, issues of censorship and the ethics of ‘embedding’.
    Interviews with over 40 leading journalists and photographers reveal the challenges of covering wars and the impact of the violence they witness, the fear and exhilaration, the regrets and successes, the private costs and personal dangers.
    Witnesses to War examines issues with continued and contemporary relevance, including the genesis of the Anzac ideal and its continued use; the representation of enemy and race and how technology has changed the nature of conflict reporting.

    Author

    Fay Anderson

    I was born and educated in rural Victoria and lived most of my working life in and around Melbourne with my husband, John. We have now retired and live near Bairnsdale in eastern Victoria. Following a lifetime of avid reading, I came to writing by accident – literally – as a painful back injury precluded many other activities. Writing, like many other crafts, requires a great deal of practice but finding creative exercises tiresome without the relief of a long term project, I envisaged an Australian saga, telling the social history of Victoria through the interlinking stories of three families over three generations. Eight years and many many hours later, I have built two mini tug boats, written an historical novel, two parts of the historical trilogy and am busily researching for the third and last.
