From the book cover flap
“Shooting Under Fire is candid testimony and stunning photography of the men and women who go into battle armed only with a camera to show warfare as it is and where it is….
“In this volume, ten of today’s leading combat photographers relate incidents of tragedy, humor, bravery, and daring in locations from Vietnam to Haiti, Ramallah to Chechnya, El Salvador to Sarajevo, Panama to Afghanistan. Here, in their own words, ar stories of life in the combat zone, together with many of the powerful images they risked their lives to obtain.”
“Peter Howe has had a long career in photography, initially as an award-winning photojournalist, during which he covered the civil wars in Northern Ireland and El Salvador, and subsequently as picture editor of The New York Times Magazine, director of photography for Life magazine, and vice president of photography and creative services for Corbis.”
