Glass Warriors is the new, text-only paperback edition of The Times
War, and has been fully revised and updated to include in-depth
biographies of the war journalists and photographers in the book as
well as chronologies of all the major wars. On 5 October 1853, as
the Ottoman Empire declared war on Russia , thereby setting off the
Crimean War, a new age in warfare began. This was the first war
reported on by a civilian war correspondent, William Howard Russell
of The Times, whose dispatches from the front shocked a nation. It
was also the first major conflict to be photographed, beginning the
great tradition of war photojournalism which has chronicled all the
world's battles and wars ever since. Glass Warriors was first
published in hardback as The Times Picture Collection: War to mark
the 150th anniversary of the Crimean War, of William Russell's
dispatches, and of the first war photography. From the Crimea,
through the Franco-Prussian War, the Boer War, the First and Second
World War, Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands, Gulf War and the campaign
in Afghanistan, all the world's major conflicts are discussed, and
are further supported by biographies of each of the journalists and
photographers in the stories, as well as a detailed chronologies of
all the major wars. The collection is poignant, authoritative, and
shocking, chronicling a century and a half when the world has
rarely been at peace and when the lenses of photographers have
never ceased to capture the ferocity of war. This book is a
ground-breaking account of modern warfare.
