The Western Front of World War I saw some of the first major steps
in a newly founded tradition - the war documentary. Known as
"kinematographers," these men braved the front lines - sometimes
filming in shell holes and often mistaken for machine gun
emplacements - to capture the war on film and bring it home to
motion picture audiences. One of the most famous among them was
Geoffrey H. Malins, cinematographer and editor of The Battle of the
Somme.These are Malins' experiences, in his own words. Illustrated
with over 40 photographs, Malins takes us from one end of the
Western Front to the other, on the ground and in the air. He tells
of his adventures, the remarkable people he encounters, his
near-misses, and the history he witnessed and committed to film for
posterity.Thrilling and horrifying, How I Filmed the Great War is
the amazing story of the man who faced the German army and the
terrors of the Western Front - not with a rifle or a machine gun,
but with a movie camera.
