Originally published in 2008, \u003cem\u003eImages of War\u003c\/em\u003e has now been beautifully redesigned as a stunning large-format hardback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile primarily drawn from the Museum's collection, many photographs from private sources were included. From more than 25,000 photographs, just over 800 were selected - most of which had never been published before. Chosen to depict each theatre of the 1914-18 war, including Gallipoli, Sinai-Palestine, and the Western Front, poignant images from the home front were included, along with graphic portraits of wounded soldiers, whose treatment marked the beginnings of modern plastic surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the First World War being described as the most important and far-reaching political and military event of the twentieth century, pivotal in forging our national sense of identity, relatively little photographic material had been published from a soldier's perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new edition contains additional information that has come to light since the first edition regarding many of the photos, as well as some new images. Poignant, stirring, and at times unbearable, it records the appalling, brutalising, mundane and touching experiences of those who were there. Lest we forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46655260328172,"sku":"9781775540342","price":90.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4275623482820.jpg?v=1752465917","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/images-of-war-by-glyn-harper-9781775540342","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
