  This study examines the conditions, constraints and images of photographic realism published in the British press during World Wars I and II, the Falklands campaign, and in relation to terrorism in Northern Ireland. Focusing on the human interest story, and the presentation of a necessary war against a common enemy, the book analyzes a number of photographs, from battles and from the home front, to show how pictures are put to patriotic use in times of national crisis.
