Stallabrass shows how photographs have become a vital weapon in the modern war: as propaganda--from close-quarters fighting to the drone's electronic vision--as well as a witness to the barbarity of events such as the My Lai massacre, the violent suppression of insurgent Fallujah or the atrocities in Abu Ghraib.
