Summary: The second-best present I was ever given
Review: Shooting Under Fire is an amazing collection of photographs from 10 living combat correspondants (except for one who died while photographing the 9/11 attacks). The color images are stunning in their graphic portrayal of the horrors of war, and the black and white images are intense and gritty in their truth. As a photographer and a Peace Studies major (recently graduated), there was really *nothing* about this book that I didn't love! For the record, the best present I was ever given was a charcoal drawing of one of the photos in this book, created by the same person who gave me the book as a gift!

Summary: Talented Artists - Great Images - Awful Prose
Review: The photographs in this book are ... well ... amazing. Most of the most famous war photographs are included in this collection, and you will seen some, if not all of them before. But, it's nice to have them all together. Most of the captioning alongside the images shows that the photograhers are self-centered, egotistical social misfits (like most great artists) with an incredible eye for light and composition.
