War in Focus is an exciting collection of photographs that not only offers a superb visual history of the way in which technology and social change have influenced the nature of warfare, but also shows how photography itself has progressed. Just as technological advances have had a major effect on the ways in which wars are fought and won, so they have enhanced the art of the photographer, allowing him or her to capture ever more perceptive pictures that record the decisive moments of battle as well as the human scars and devastation that result.

Beginning with some of the very first known examples of the war photographers's art from the 1850's, this impressive array of images covers the Crimean and American Civil Wars and imperial conflicts in the late nineteenth century, as well as the major turning points of the twentieth century - the First and Second World Wars, the end of the empires, the Cold War and Vietnam - together with the more recent wars in the Middle East and the war in Iraq.

War in Focus is not just a visual history of warfare, it is also a testament to the art, skill and courage of the person behind the lens.
