London England: Andre Deutsch. Very Good/Very Good. 1975. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0233963723 Hardback Hardcover The war correspondent is comparatively new to history. Generals preferred to report their own victories and resented a civilian snooping around the battlefield. In war-time the correspondent is the people's main source of news. How good a source is he? The First Casualty looks critically at the major wars of the past 120 years, tries to distinguish fact from myth, and examines to what extend the war correspondent has been responsible for myths. The author has not confined himself to Britain and the United States; German, Japanese, Russia, French, and Italian correspondents, and the systems for controlling them, are all described and assessed. The conclusions are startling. Illustrated. Some slight wear and tear to D/J. .
