News of War by Rupert Furneaux explores the development of war reporting during the nineteenth century, focusing on the journalists who brought accounts of major conflicts to the public. Covering wars such as the Crimean War the American Civil War and the Franco Prussian War the book examines how correspondents operated in difficult and often dangerous conditions.
Furneaux highlights the personalities and experiences of early war reporters and considers how their work shaped public understanding of conflict. The book also looks at the evolution of communication methods including the use of the telegraph and the increasing speed at which news could be transmitted.
An engaging study of the origins of modern war reporting this work provides insight into both military history and the history of journalism.
