In April 2021, the Court of Appeal quashed the convictions of 39
former Subpostmasters and ruled their prosecutions were an affront
to the public conscience. They were just a few of the hundreds who
had been prosecuted by the Post Office using IT evidence from an
unreliable computer system called Horizon. When the Post Office
became aware that Horizon didn't work properly, it covered it up.
The Great Post Office Scandal is the story of how these innocent
people had their lives ruined by a once-loved national institution
and how, against overwhelming odds, they fought back to clear their
names. Gripping, heart-breaking and enlightening, The Great Post
Office Scandal should be read by everyone who wants to understand
how this massive miscarriage of justice was allowed to happen.

Unlike most historical examinations of war reporting, which centre
the evolving role of the war correspondent, this book reverses the
emphasis in order to bring the photojournalist’s contribution to
the fore, providing an evaluative appraisal of photojournalism as
an important area of inquiry in its own right. Stuart Allan
explores a number of pressing questions facing photojournalists
committed to conveying conflict. Placing these questions in
historical context demonstrates how efforts to rethink the future
of photojournalism in a digital age can benefit from a close and
careful consideration of war photography’s origins, early
development and gradual transformation over the years.
